How to Care for Samelin & AIPI Boots

Samelin and AIPI boots are built to last — handcrafted in Europe from premium leather and designed for long-term durability. With the right care, your boots will stay comfortable, resilient, and beautiful for years to come.

Follow this simple, proven routine to keep your boots in their best shape. All recommended products can be found in our GoGoNano Shoe Care Collection.

1) Clean After Use

• Brush off dirt and mud with a soft brush after each wear.
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth — avoid soaking the leather.
• For deeper cleaning, use GoGoNano Shoe Cleaner to remove grime without damaging the surface or stitching.

Pro tip: Never submerge your boots in water — it weakens the leather and adhesives.

2) Protect from Water & Stains

• Apply GoGoNano Protector Spray evenly for an invisible, breathable barrier.
• Reapply regularly, especially during wet or snowy seasons.
• For suede and nubuck, brush gently before applying the protector.

3) Condition the Leather

• Every 2–3 months, apply a thin layer of leather conditioner or cream.
• Allow it to absorb fully, then buff for a natural matte or polished finish.
• Always test the product on a small area first — some conditioners can darken the leather slightly.

Tip: Conditioning maintains the flexibility and strength of military-grade Samelin leather while enhancing comfort.

4) Dry Properly

• Remove insoles and laces, and air dry your boots naturally at room temperature.
• Avoid radiators, fireplaces, or hairdryers — direct heat can cause cracking.
• Stuff boots with paper or use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain shape.

5) Store with Care

• Use boot trees or paper stuffing to help retain their structure.
• Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• For long-term storage, choose a breathable cotton or canvas bag — never plastic.

Keep your boots performing — and looking — their best with quality care. Explore the complete GoGoNano Shoe Cleaner & Protector Collection to build your own care kit.
