Cowboy boots
Cowboy boots can be worn anywhere from the ranch to the city. Regardless of where you wear them, there are certain things that need to do in order to keep them in good shape.
• Getting rid of dirt – Get a damp cloth and begin wiping. It is typically best not to use any kind of a harsh chemical when cleaning the boot. The reason is because harsh chemicals have a tendency to discolor the boot. Many manufacturers sell an accompanying cleanser.
• Ingrained dirt – If you have not cleaned your cowboy boots for some time, there is a good chance that damp cloth and water will not be able to remove the older dirt. Try some Saddle Oil, or look for a cleanser offered by the manufacturer of your footwear.
• Conditioner – You can help to keep them in good shape by applying some kind of a leather conditioner. The conditioner helps prevent the boot from drying out and also helps keep the leather soft. If it has been some time since you have used conditioner, you very well might want to apply a couple of coats.
• Water repellent – If you want to keep your cowboy boots in good shape, using some water repellent might be a very good idea. Often the boots are already waterproof, but this is not always the case. Still, from time to time, apply repellent to ensure it stays in good shape and that the weatherproof ability does not wear out.
