How to Refurbish Boots ~ Women Shoes Advisory

When colder temperatures roll around, it's time to bring out your boots. Whether they are knee-high boots, steel-toed Doc Martens or ankle boots, they might be in need of some TLC before you wear them again. Depending on the boots' materials and condition, it might be as easy as giving them a good cleaning yourself.

Instructions

Clean your boots. (You should do this weekly.) Remove dirt and mud with a stiff brush and a few drops of water. Then go over your boots with a soft sponge that is damp (not dripping wet). For tougher stains, use a saddle soap specifically formulated for the boots' material, such as suede or leather. Make sure you remove all traces of soap residue after cleaning.

Protect your boots with a waterproof conditioner after cleaning. Look for one that contains lanolin to protect against rain and weather damage. Make sure the conditioner is safe to use on the material of the boots.

Allow your boots to air-dry for at least 24 hours before touching them again.

Buff leather boots with shoe polish. (This should be done once a month for maintenance.) Choose a polish color that matches the boots. If you are unsure, bring your boots to a shoemaker or shoe-repair store and get a professional opinion.

Polish the boots gently with a soft cloth until they shine. Wear plastic gloves so your hands will stay clean.

Take your shoes to a cobbler if your boots have serious damage, such as loose soles or broken heels. A professional will analyze the boots' conditions and give you an estimate.
