Learn how to clean, condition, and waterproof your Women's OOmega Leather Londoner Boots. Step-by-step care routine to protect the full-grain leather and OOfoam sole.

Quick answer

Clean dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap, condition the full-grain leather with a dedicated leather conditioner, and apply a waterproofing spray to protect the boot and OOfoam sole.

Why leather care matters for OOmega Londoner Boots

The Women's OOmega Leather Londoner combines full-grain leather with stretchy knit panels and a proprietary OOfoam™ sole. The leather upper needs regular conditioning to stay supple and resist cracking, while the OOfoam requires gentle cleaning to maintain its cushioning properties. Skipping care can shorten the boot's lifespan and reduce comfort.

What to avoid

Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or machine washing on the leather or OOfoam. Avoid heat sources like radiators or hair dryers to speed up drying — they can warp the leather and degrade the foam. Stick to air drying at room temperature.

Step-by-step care and waterproofing routine

1. Remove loose dirt and debris: Use a soft brush or dry microfiber cloth to gently brush off any mud, dust, or grit from the leather and knit panels. Pay attention to creases and seams. Skipping this step can grind dirt into the leather during cleaning, causing scratches.
2. Clean the leather and knit upper: Dampen a clean cloth with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap (like saddle soap or a gentle leather cleaner). Wipe the entire boot, avoiding soaking the leather. For the knit areas, dab rather than scrub. Rinse the cloth with plain water and wipe off any soap residue. Test the cleaner on a hidden area first — some soaps can darken full-grain leather.
3. Condition the full-grain leather: Apply a small amount of leather conditioner (cream or balm) to a soft cloth. Work it into the leather in circular motions, focusing on dry areas. Let it absorb for 10–15 minutes, then buff with a clean cloth. Do not over-condition — excess can clog pores and make the leather feel sticky. One coat is enough for most climates.
4. Waterproof the boots: Hold a waterproofing spray (designed for leather and synthetic materials) about 6–8 inches from the boot. Apply an even coat over the entire upper, including the knit panels. Let it dry for 24 hours in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Avoid spraying the OOfoam sole directly — the spray can break down the foam's cushioning over time. Mask the sole with tape if needed.
5. Let the boots dry completely before wearing: After cleaning and waterproofing, allow the boots to air dry at room temperature for at least 24 hours. Stuff them with newspaper to help maintain shape and absorb moisture. Wearing damp boots can stretch the leather unevenly and reduce the waterproofing effectiveness.
