To keep your boots in good condition, clean them after each use with water and/or Ph neutral soap (avoid using hard brushes or abrasive sponges). Then wipe them with a cloth or leave them to dry in a well ventilated place away from heat sources. Store the boots upright, away from humidity, preferably in a dry and well-ventilated place. It goes without saying that you can go in the water with this pair up to the shaft level.
