Wearing a brand new pair of Tucci riding boots can be an exciting experience! However, it is important to know how to put them on correctly to maximize their lifespan. Here are some tips to help you get started:
Add the anti-shock insole later
For the first few times you wear your new Tucci riding boots, leave the anti-shock insole out. It can always be added later when the leather has formed enough to your foot. This is usually the case after wearing the boots two to three times.
Fully unzip the zipper
Make sure to fully unzip the riding boots to prevent the zipper from breaking. This also gives more room to comfortably slide your foot into the boot, a win-win situation!
Use the leather tongue
When placing your foot in the boot, hold the leather tongue without closing the zipper. Once your foot is completely in the boot, push your foot well forward in the boot. Stomp a few times with your riding boots on the ground so your foot is well settled in the front of the riding boot.
Ask for help
When closing the zipper, it can be helpful to get some assistance. Pull the elastic firmly and stretch it towards the zipper to bring both sides together. Close the zipper about 2 cm at a time and keep pulling the elastic towards the zipper to minimize pressure.
Protect the zipper from the inside with your finger to prevent your sock from getting caught in the zipper. Always pull the zipper straight up, perpendicular to the ground, to avoid any breaks in the zipper.
Extra tip
To speed up the breaking-in of the leather, you can warm the leather with the palms of your hands. This also helps the riding boots to shape more quickly to your foot.
Care
Maintaining your Tucci boots is also essential to extend their lifespan. Follow these simple steps to keep your boots in top condition:
- Clean your boots after each use: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. It's important to do this after each use, so the dirt does not penetrate the leather.
- The special Tucci Boots Cream, which you receive for free with the purchase of your boots, is perfect for deeply nourishing your boots, so they remain soft and supple.
- After cleaning and nourishing, let your boots dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
- Finally, store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and shape.
Conclusion
Wearing your new Tucci boots correctly not only extends their lifespan but also makes them more comfortable. Follow these tips, take good care of your boots, and you will enjoy your stylish Tucci riding boots for years!
