PRODUCT CARE


How often should I wear my boots?


We recommend taking care of how many days in a row you would wear the boots. Rotate wear days to allow the boots to dry completely from any moisture.

Do you recommend any specific conditioners or polishes?


To condition the boots, it is recommended to use a water-based conditioner every 2 months to avoid color changes. Oil-based conditioners are great moisturizers but can permanently alter the color of the leather.

To polish, we recommend a neutral wax-based polish in order to match original color.

Can Ive Bachesto be re-soled?


Yes! Bachesto boots use the highest quality materials such as a construction of ¾ Goodyear welt. Once you wear through the leather outsole, your local cobbler can repair and replace the outsole. We, however, do not offer in-house resoling.

What is your warranty?


If any issue should arise outside of normal wear and tear.

Warranty does not cover outsole repairs since its considered normal wear and tear.

Calfskin leather care
Boots should be stored in a dark, dry place with tissue, newspaper or cedar shoe tree that won’t stretch the leather.
Bruch off dirt every use, use a horsehair brush or damp cloth when necessary.
Alternate wearing days to allow proper drying.


Conditioning


Conditioning is recommended at least every 2 months, which may leave a slight 'matte' finish. Brickmore´s Bick 4 conditioner is very recommendable. Here are the following instructions:

  1. Remove all dirt or dust with horsehair brush or damp cloth.
  2. While boots are still damp, lightly apply a conditioner (e.g., Bick 4) over the entire boot, with a brush or your fingers.
  3. Let conditioner dry then buff with horsehair brush.


Polishing


Polishing should be used after conditioning or based on preference. If the boots are clean and you don’t have time for conditioning, a light use of spray shine would work fine. A neutral polish is recommended to avoid mismatched colors. How to polish:

 

  1. After conditioning and buffing the boots, apply a thin coat of wax-based neutral polish to the boot. A slightly shiny layer should be applied to desired area.
  2. Let the polish dry, then brush off with a soft cloth.
  3. Buff with a horsehair brush to see desired level of shine.

 

Resoling


Leather soles wear out from a few months to years depending on wearer, physical and outdoor conditions. Your local cobbler can do a great resoling, recommending a half-sole resole. This can run from $50-$100 depending on the cobbler.

 

Suede leather care
Boots should be stored in a dark, dry place with tissue, newspaper or cedar shoe tree that won’t stretch the leather.
Bruch off dirt every use, use a horsehair brush or damp cloth when necessary.
Alternate wearing days to allow proper drying.


Conditioning & polishing


Conditioning or polishing suede leather is NOT recommended because it will damage the product.

Cleaning suede


Suede leather normally holds dirt more than smooth leathers, making it difficult to clean. Bickmore Suede and Nubuck cleaner are specifically suited to clean suede or a use of a suede eraser. With the eraser, you can lightly scrub dirty areas and buff the nap with a suede brush.
