The Right Storage Technique for Leather
Sometimes the right storage technique for leather is just as important as the right cleaning technique!
Clean them Give your boots a scrub. If they have stains, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a solution of water and vinegar to remove them. Use a leather cleaner to clean any remaining spots.
Condition them
Get your boots conditioned, especially if they are leather boots, immediately after you clean them.
Get them repaired
Have them repaired instead of waiting until next winter to fix any damage that they have sustained.
Stuff them well
Before putting your boots away, stuff them with either a shoe tree or newspapers so that their shape is maintained. You can also use rolled-up magazines, which will help keep the boot’s shaft upright.
Deodorise
Buy a shoe deodorising spray, or fill a sachet with baking soda and put it in your boots before storing.
Store them properly
Though storing them upright is ideal, you can also store them in bins. But make sure you put the heaviest ones down first. Lay a cloth or old t-shirt between every pair or use a cloth bag.
