Leather Care Essentials

Leather Care Essentials

Receiving your new boots is so exciting, and although all of our products are exceptional quality, it's important to take care of them so that they last and maintain their beauty for as long as possible. Here are our top recommendations to keep your boots looking as amazing as the day you bought them. 
  • To prevent damage to the heel area, we advise using a boot jack to remove our riding boots.
  • Use warm water to gently wipe away dirt and debris after every use, or try Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel or Leather Genie Cleaner; both effectively remove mud. 
  • Never use heat to dry boots; doing so will cause the leather to become hard and brittle.
  • Use Hewitts Luxury Dubbin, wax, or balsam products on nubuck leathers to hydrate and condition the leather.
  • Use leather cream or shoe polish to colour and care for smooth aniline leathers.
  • Your boots will continue to repel water and grime by applying Collonil Carbon Pro.
  • Finally, to act like a boot care expert, store your long boots with boot trees or the foam shapers that came with your boots. This will help them maintain their form and prolong the life of the zips.
  • Use Gear Aid Zipper Cleaner & Lubricant to keep zips clean and free of grime, grease, and grit.
