- Do not store soccer boots in plastic bags or other non-porous covers.
Stuff wet boots with dry paper to retain their shape while drying.
- Allow wet or damp soccer boots to air-dry naturally away from any source
of heat. Artificial heat will harden leather and cause tearing and
cracking. Apply a little Boot Brew
leather conditioner when the boots are nearly dry to restore
flexibility. Follow this with a full conditioning treatment when the
boots have completely dried.
- To prevent mildew, protect leather from excessive humidity. In
a dry environment, regularly condition the leather to prevent shoes
from drying out and cracking.
- Do not use waxes, silicone products, or other leather preparations that impair
the ability of the leather to "breathe".
- Dubbins and greases are bad as they seal the pores and are sticky, thus
picking up additional dirt and dust.
- Never use caustic household chemicals to clean leather. Avoid leather
preparations that contain alcohol, turpentine, or mineral spirits. We
recommend Boot Klean
as it is balanced cleaner and is compatible with leather.
- Do not use mink oil or other animal fats. They will darken leather and can turn
rancid, causing the stitching and leather to rot.
- Use Boot Brew
both inside and outside of your boots!
