Learn the best way to clean and care for your United Nude Sonar Boot Hi boots, from daily upkeep to deep cleaning, so they stay sleek and last longer.
Quick answer
To keep your Sonar Boot Hi boots looking their best, clean them regularly with a soft brush, spot-clean spills immediately, and condition the leather parts to prevent drying. Store them upright in a cool, dry place.
Why material matters
The Sonar Boot Hi combines a soft microfiber or neoprene upper with nappa leather accents, so it needs a care routine that respects both materials. Microfiber and neoprene are water-resistant and easy to wipe clean, while nappa leather is more delicate and benefits from conditioning.
Using the wrong product—like a heavy leather conditioner on the neoprene—can leave residue or alter the texture. Always test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first.
Daily care vs. deep cleaning
Daily care is quick: brush off dust and wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth. This prevents grime from building up and keeps the boots looking fresh.
Deep cleaning should be done every few weeks or when the boots are visibly dirty. It involves a more thorough wipe-down, conditioning the leather parts, and letting the boots air dry completely before wearing.
Step-by-step cleaning routine
- Remove loose dirt: Use a soft-bristled brush or dry cloth to gently brush away dust and dirt from the entire boot, paying attention to seams and crevices. Check for any stuck-on debris that might need extra attention.
- Spot-clean stains: Dampen a clean cloth with mild soap and water, then gently blot any stains. Avoid soaking the neoprene or leather. Always test on a hidden area first to ensure the color doesn't bleed.
- Condition the leather parts: Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the nappa leather sections using a soft cloth. Let it absorb for a few minutes, then buff gently. Don't over-condition; a little goes a long way to keep leather supple.
- Air dry completely: Let the boots air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff them with newspaper to help them keep their shape. Never use a dryer or heater—it can crack the leather and warp the neoprene.
- Store properly: Keep your boots upright in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot shapers or rolled towels inside to maintain the tall silhouette. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them to prevent creases.
