CARE & LONGEVITY | LEATHERS EDITION
Leather is a living material. It softens, deepens in colour and develops a unique patina shaped by time, movement and climate. With the right routine, your boots gain character while maintaining structural integrity.
Each Celeris leather responds differently to wear. Whether smooth, polished, suede, embossed or technical, each surface benefits from care that is gentle, consistent and adapted to its nature.
Always allow wet leather to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat.
Never apply care products to damp leather.
Includes Jumping Essentials, Calf, Smooth, Caviar Grain, Mid Sheen, Classic Leathers, Embossed finishes, Faux Ostrich, Faux Iguana, Matte Faux Croc and R-Grip.
Cleaning
– Remove loose dirt with a Hard Brush
– For deeper cleaning, use Leather Foam Cleaner or a warm, damp cloth
– Allow the leather to dry naturally, away from sunlight
Conditioning
– Apply a minimal amount of Leather Cream (colour-matched, or Natural Cream when working near contrasting materials)
– Let rest for 5 minutes
Finishing
– Buff lightly with a Soft Brush and finish with the Polishing Mitt
Note
Patina and lightening may develop more quickly on inner panels due to natural friction.
Includes Polish, Gloss and Faux Croc Gloss leathers.
Cleaning
– Remove surface dirt with a Hard Brush
– For deeper cleaning, use Leather Foam Cleaner or a warm, damp cloth
– Allow the leather to dry naturally, away from heat and direct sunlight
Conditioning
– Use a very small amount of Leather Cream. These finishes absorb minimal product, so only a light application is required
– Allow it to rest for 5 minutes
Finishing
– Restore the high-shine finish using the Polishing Mitt, buffing generously
Note
Foot creasing and micro-scratches are natural characteristics of high-shine leathers.
Cleaning
– Brush off surface dirt using a Hard Brush
– For deeper cleaning, apply Leather Foam Cleaner gently
– Allow to dry naturally in an airy space, away from sunlight
Conditioning
– Apply a small amount of Leather Oil (not Leather Cream) to maintain suppleness and preserve the natural matte appearance
Finishing
– Buff lightly with a Soft Brush
– Do not use the Polishing Mitt. It has no effect on oil-based leathers
Note
Oiled leathers are resilient and develop a soft, lived-in patina. Light scratches can often be blended by warming the surface with gentle friction or applying a touch of oil.
Important
– Suede must always be cleaned dry
– Avoid water exposure
– Never use Leather Foam Cleaner
Cleaning

– Allow to dry in an airy space, away from sunlight
– Finish with a Soft Brush
– For added protection, apply Suede Water Repellent

Important
These materials are delicate and require careful, gentle handling.
Cleaning

– Allow it to rest briefly
Finishing

CARE & LONGEVITY | ZIP EDITION
Zippers require the same care as leather: precise, consistent and gentle. Proper maintenance prevents broken pulls and most zipper failures.
- Never attach keychains, straps or accessories to the zip pull, as this places stress on the mechanism
- Always zip your boots while seated, reducing pressure on the calf and ensuring a smooth, even closure
- After each use, brush away any sand or dirt from the zipper teeth
- If additional lubrication is needed, a small amount of zipper-safe lubricant may be used with great care to avoid contact with leather
CARE & LONGEVITY | HORSE ACCESSORIES
Horse accessories endure constant movement, sweat, dust and outdoor conditions, making regular care essential to preserve both appearance and performance.
Cleaning
– Remove loose dirt with a Hard Brush
– For deeper cleaning, use a warm, damp cloth applied gently
– Leather Foam Cleaner may be used on full-leather areas when deeper cleansing is required
– Allow the accessory to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight
Conditioning
– Apply a minimal amount of Leather Cream (colour-matched, or Natural Cream when working near contrasting materials)
– Allow it to rest for 5 minutes
Finishing
– Buff lightly with a Soft Brush and complete the routine with the Polishing Mitt for a refined, even finish
