I have a pair of the above and thanks to the lovely summer we have been having, they are now very muddy! I don't want them to rub Toff and also want them to last as long as possible so how is the best way to clean them? They were bought off a friend so I don't have any packaging/instructions that may say what is possible!
Thanks

I wash my Boa boots (made by the same company who make the Old Mac boots) with just warm water and a brush. Also make sure I pick all the stones out of the soles with a hoof pick.

Is there any washing instructions on their website?
 
Thank you both for your replies. Have looked on website and it mentions hosing, but as these were fairly manky when I got them they are past looking respectable! Will give them a scrub at the weekend and see how it goes...!

I just hose mine with a power hose and they come up fine.

Don't be tempted to put them in any strong detergent or like me in the washing machine - they came up lovely, but the detergent destroyed the glue inside and they went all shapeless and pathetic and I had to buy a new pair!!
 
my husband doesnt know this but while he was out playing cricket on saturday I rubbed them down with his old toothbrush in a soapy sink....of course I replaced his toothbrush but they came up lovely....sat the upside down outside to dry off and look great, although dont smell too good...like a dirty old pair of trainers in fact...
