My cowboy boots are just about done in but they are my favorite damn pair so I'm getting ready to treat them again. I wanted to share with you on leather boot care so your favorite pair of boots don't break and fall apart.
The rules that apply to care and conditioning of cowboy boots are very simple. Care for your cowboy boots and other natural western wear in much the same manner as you treat your skin. The leather in your cowboy boots requires nutrients to keep them supple and strong.
The four steps for proper cowboy boot care are: Clean, Condition, Polish, and Protect!
Dirt and dust are a cowboy boot's worst enemies. Wiping down often with a damp cloth can prevent dirt and dust from cutting away at the microscopic fibers that make cowboy boots strong and durable.
Condition cowboy boots only when they are clean and dry so conditioner can penetrate through the pores to keep leather soft and pliable. Lanolin-based conditioners are best. Too much oil or wax can clog the pores, which cause the cowboy boot to dry out. Also, oils and waxes attract dust.
Rejuvenate cowboy boots by applying a cream-based polish. This will cover scratches and bring a glossy finish. Only cowboy boots that have a finish can be polished.
Care for cowboy boots with a non-silicone water and stain protector.
