Tips on Cleaning your Boots

CLEANING:

1. Remove any debris with a brush or wipe clean after use with a damp cloth.

2. Ensure you allow wet boots to dry naturally at room temperature as artificial drying can cause leather to shrink, harden and crack.

3. Soles should be cleaned by brushing and/or washing to remove any dirt.

4. Full grain leather uppers should be polished or treated with leather preservative like Dubbin.

5. Our suede and nubuck leathers can be treated before wear with a waterproofing product like KIWI Suede & Nubuck Protector. This creates an invisible shield that helps prevent water and dirt from penetrating suede and nubuck footwear while still allowing them to breathe.

6. Should your suede or nubuck begin to look tired and flattened, scrub it with a  clean toothbrush or towel. If it’s in really bad shape, hold your shoe above steam for a few seconds, and then brush it. Whatever you do, don’t clean suede or nubuck with water. This might seem strange, but don’t try to clean suede or nubuck with water alone. It can affect both the colour and the texture.
