HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR LEATHER FIREFIGHTING BOOTS
Recommended Procedure for Total Fire Group Leather Boots, Models 6006, 3050, 3051, 3060, 6050 and 3006.

Your new Total Fire Group leather boots may take a few days to break in but once broken in, they will fit you and only you.

Try not to kick off your boots by using the “toe to heel” method. Although every possible enhancement has been made to your new Total Fire Group boots to protect them, a little care will go a long way in keeping them new. A boot jack can help tremendous and is a great aid for snug fitting boots (part #902).

Periodically clean your boots in the following manner:

  1. KEEP THEM CLEAN! Lingering grit will ultimately work its way into the fabric, leather, seams and stitching causing the boot to eventually deteriorate.
  2. Periodically clean your boots with warm water and a soft scrub brush. Pay particular attention to debris around stitch areas and where the sole attaches to the boot. NEVER USE FORCED HOT AIR OR HEAT OF ANY KIND to dry your boots.
  3. After repeated soakings, or exposure to hot and dry conditions, the leather may begin to dry out. The leather will lose its ability to shed water and take on additional weight in the process. Using a good leather conditioner will help retain your boots good looks. We recommend Meguiar’s, available online (www.meguiars.com) or from an auto supply house.
  4. After conditioning, apply Kiwi Parade and Kiwi Camp Dry. Camp Dry can also be used on the fabric portion of the boots. Read instructions carefully. Both available at   www.kiwishoeproducts.com   or at many retailers.
  5. The boot interior lining can be cleaned, if necessary, by using a mild detergent and warm water solution. Wet linings can be dried by first draining out excess liquid and then stuffing the boot with absorbent toweling or by forced air drying (NEVER HOT - Under 100° F). Do not attempt to dry your boots by placing them on a radiator or in a conventional or microwave oven.

Your new Total fire Group leather boots can be decontaminated of many common chemicals. For a list of chemicals and details, please call ECMS at 1-866-232-4575.
