Samelin Boot Care Guide

Proper care keeps Samelin boots durable, comfortable, and stylish for years. This guide explains sizing tips and care for waterproof nubuck, leather, and insoles, with recommended care products from the GoGoNano collection.

How to choose the right size boots

Samelin sizes generally run large. Choosing the correct fit in both length and width is essential.

• Trace both feet on paper while wearing socks.
• Measure from heel to the tip of the longest toe.
• Measure in the evening after walking during the day.
• Select the size based on the longer foot.
• If insoles or thick socks will be used, consider half a size larger.

Examples include 553P Rosso Hiking Boots, 2077 Combat Boots aka M77 Boots 2.0, and 517 Aviator Boots. Browse full collections, Men’s Boots and Women’s Boots.

How to care for insoles

• Remove insoles after long wear and let them air out.
• Wash gently by hand or machine on a delicate cycle up to 30°C. Avoid spin drying and strong detergents.
• Air dry at room temperature, away from sudden temperature changes.

Break in new boots comfortably

• Wear for short periods during the first week, then increase time gradually.
• Use medium or thick socks at first to reduce friction. If needed, add a thin blister pad on hot spots.
• For leather, a light application of EcoProtect helps repel moisture during early use. Avoid heavy conditioning on nubuck to preserve texture.
• Do not force drying near heat if boots get damp during break in. Let them dry at room temperature with paper inside to hold shape.

Seasonal and bad weather care

• Heavy rain and slush Reapply Stay Dry Nano Coating Spray every 2 to 4 weeks during very wet periods.
• Road salt stains Wipe with a damp cloth, then use a mild solution of water and a few drops of cleaner such as Eco Friendly Shoe Cleaner Gel. Rinse cloth and wipe again. Allow to dry, then reproof.
• Snow and mud Brush off when dry. For nubuck, use only nubuck suitable products to avoid darkening.

Storage and off season tips

• Use shoe trees or lightly stuff with acid free paper to help retain shape.
