Spray em down with silicon spray.Just the outside.Silicon will revitalize rubber which is what the MM boots are made of.
jdr:
Printed out what the mfg. reccomends for care. Boots should be washed with soapy water both inside and out, wipe with a damp cloth and wipe off all remaining moisture before storing. Silicone sure helps, trick is to never let the sealed insulation get wet.
Hope this Helps!
These boots have been designed to protect you in sub-zero conditions and should be worn when temperatures of –20 F or below may occur.
Walking, running or heavy work for long periods will cause the feet to sweat. However, this moisture cannot damage the insulation because of the waterproof rubber lining inside the boot. The feet, even if damp, will stay warm. After a few days, your feet become use to this feeling. If these boots are worn continuously, the skin appears wrinkled and white as if it had been soaked in water. Drying the feet and putting on dry clean socks will cause this condition to disappear. If ice water spills into the boot, it warms to body temperature rapidly
Wear with one pair of Socks, Wool, Cushion Sole. Fold the top of the sock over top of boot to prevent slipping and wrinkling of sock. Field trousers are to be worn outside the boots.
SIZES: Boots are supplied in whole sizes. Widths are Extra Narrow, Narrow, Regular, Wide, Extra Wide. Try on the same size insulated boots as your leather boots. If you wear a half size in leather boots, try on the next size larger boots for proper fit. Make sure the insulated boots fir properly! They have a “soft” fit. Be sure yours are large enough. Fit snug, but not tight.
The boot is double laced through the second eyelets. Loosen laces and draw boot onto foot, seating the back of the heel firmly into the boot. Pull laces tight above the second eyelet firmly to anchor the boot to the foot. Lace rest of boot comfortably. Fold or tuck fullness of gussetrearward on outerside of leg per instructions imprinted on the boot. When doffing boot, loosen laces above the second eyelet, then complete by loosening laces directly below second eyelet.
Change Socks at least once daily
If your feet begin to get cold, button up all your garments and exercise the entire body by swinging the arms, stomping the feet, and rapid movement of the toes.
Wash the inside of the boots with soapy water once a month.
Repair all inside and outside punctures immediately with ordinary rubber patching to prevent moisture from wetting the sealed insulation.
The shelf on the heel holds ski and snowshoe bindings in place.
The air release valve on the outside of the boot equalizes air pressure at different altitudes. To reduce boot swelling and foot discomfort, open the valve allowing pressure to escape. Back at lower altitudes, closeagain. Be sure to keep closed, except while airborne, to eliminate moisture penetration. DO NOT TAMPER WITH AIR VALVE. USE ONLY WHEN NEEDED!
