Boot Care

We always recommend using the services of your local reputable Shoe Repair for the care and maintenance of your boots when needed.

  • Ostrich

    ​

    Care and Maintenance

     

    • Brush dirt off after every wear using a horsehair brush. For excess dirt gently clean using a damp smooth cloth.

    ​

    • Keep boots stored in a dark and dry place. 

    ​

    • We recommend alternating days between wear to allow boots to air and dry out.

    ​

    • To keep the proper form of the boot we recommend storing with tissue, newspaper or proper fitting shoe trees that do not stretch the leather

    ​​

    Conditioning

    ​

    We recommend conditioning at least every 2 months depending on wear. For heavy use conditioning monthly is recommended. Conditioning may leave a matte like finish but the shine can be restored with proper boot polishing

    ​

    • Brush dirt off after every wear using a horsehair brush and gently clean using a damp smooth cloth.​

    ​

    • With the boots still damp apply a leather conditioner over the entire boot.

    ​

    • Let the conditioner dry preferably overnight, then buff using a horsehair brush

    ​​

    Polishing

    ​

    Polishing is only needed if desired it is all up to your personal preference. If you  prefer a polish then we only recommend doing so after a conditioning.

    ​

    • After a conditioning when the boots have been fully dried and buffed add a light coat of wax based neutral polish to all areas you want shined. We recommend using a neutral polish to avoid the polish color not matching that of the boot.

     

    • Allow the polish to dry and then buff with a soft smooth cloth.

    ​

    • Finish by buffing with a horsehair brush to your desired level of shine. 

    ​

    • For a high shine repeat the polishing process again.
