Good Morning,

Thank you for your email. Be sure to keep in mind that your Forest Heights are crafted with full grain leather, and do not have a liner.

We recommend any waterproof or silicon based boot dressing or conditioner. We have our own brand, which works well for Gore-Tex lined boots, or you can choose any brands that are approved for Gore-Tex products. We do not recommend using anything with animal bi-products in it (i.e. mink oil, beeswax, etc.); these will clog the pores of the leather and the pores of the Gore-Tex waterproof lining causing reduced breathability and eventual failure.

Take care of your boots and they will take care of you.
Danner products are built tough and you can help prolong the life of your boots by keeping the leather clean, waterproof, and conditioned. Listed below are a few cleaning tips that can help you get the most out of your Danner boots.

Clean 'Em
Make sure to clean your boots after use, especially if there is visible dirt and mud on them. Use a wet rag, sponge, or soft brush when cleaning. Small particles of debris can work their way into the pores of the leather, causing it to dry out and deteriorate. Unseen grime and oil-based particles can be removed by using our Danner Cleaning Gel. Apply the cleaning gel to the leather sparingly while it is still wet. Rinse off excess with tap water and air-dry thoroughly. If expedited drying is required, use a boot dryer. Do not heat-dry the boots with a hairdryer, space-heater, or open flame, as doing so can severely damage the product. Do not use any Dawn soaps or products, as they will dry out the leather.

Dress 'Em
To prevent irreparable damage such as flaked, cracked, or excessively dry leather, it’s important to condition your boots regularly. Nubuc, suede, and rough-out leather boots do not need conditioning, but it is vital you treat full-grain leather products with a conditioner when you notice the leather is drying out. Our Danner Boot Dressing is perfect for breaking in boots and reviving the rich color of the leather. It protects the leather from drying out and extends the life of the boots more than any other boot care product. The dressing is offered in three colors: black for black boots, brown for dark brown boots, and clear for light brown or Camohide products. If you want a more natural finish and don’t want to put color back into your boots, please use the clear boot dressing. The dressing should be applied to leather portions liberally with a soft cloth on clean, dry boots. Use ample pressure to knead the dressing deep into the fibers of the leather. Wipe away excess and allow the boots to dry overnight. Repeat this process when you notice the leather losing its color or appearing dry or scuffed.

Waterproof 'Em
Boots that come with a Gore-Tex liner are already waterproof, but it is important that the leather be treated as well. Excess water can make the boots heavy and create water spots between the leather and Gore-Tex liner. Constant soaking and drying of the leather can damage the fibers, causing the boots to become stiff and eventually ruining the snug fit of the product. When you notice the boots taking on excess water, it is time to apply our Danner Waterproofing Gel for full grain leather. After the boots have been cleaned, apply the gel with a clean rag, and work the substance deep into the pores of the leather. Allow the boots to dry for a few minutes then wipe away the excess. Do not use Danner Waterproofing Gel on nubuc, suede, or rough-out leather boots. Instead, use our Danner Waterproofing Spray, which will help maintain the original texture of those products. You don't need to over soak the material.

I realize this is a ton of information. If you have any further questions, please do feel free to give us a call at (877)432-6637 and speak to one of our representatives and they will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
