With each pair of
boots you have, you should take the time to properly maintain
them. The few minutes it takes will greatly extend the life of
the boots.
1. CLEAN
Do not let dirt and dust accumulate on leather products. After
each wearing, boots should be wiped down with a damp, not wet,
cloth. Dust and dirt can break down the leather and shorten the
life of your boots. Allow your boots to dry out thoroughly
between wearings. This prevents the onset of bacteria from
forming in the leather. Allow your boots to air dry, do not set
them near heat. It will dry them out excessively.
2. CONDITION
Conditioning leather is important because conditioner helps to
maintain the original look and feel of the leather. Conditioning
keeps the boots from drying out. Use a conditioner specially
formulated for boots. Lanolin based products work best.
3. POLISH
To keep boots looking their best, you should periodically apply
a matching boot cream polish. The polish will help to cover any
scuffs and can be brought to a bright luster.
4. PROTECT
Protect your boots even more with water repellant, use boot
trees to help maintain your boots shape and form and use edge
dressing on the outside edge to maintain welt color. |
