Taking Care of Your Boots

Our boots are crafted from the best available leathers and components, employing the expertise gained over many years of bootmaking.

Leather is a natural product so your boots will benefit from the following advice:

Blundstone Boots
1. If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb the moisture and to keep the shape of the boot. Always dry them at room temperature-never with artificial heat.
2. To keep the boots weather-resistant and pliable, you should dress the leather with suitable treatment after cleaning.
3. Cleaning - A mixture of one part vinegar to three parts water is a perfect natural cleaner for your boots.
4. Blundstone boots come with a "How to Care For Your Blundstones" card. Following the outlines in this card will ensure your boots last longer.

R.M. Williams boots:
1. While still wet, remove all mud from your boots with a damp cloth. Wait until dry before cleaning and polishing.
2. Allow the two "tugs" to take the strain when pulling on your elastic sided boots.
3. For boots with leather soles, wear your boots in dry conditions on the first few occassions. Fine leather boots can require a full day to dry out from perspiration.
4. For finished leathers, use R.M. Williams Boot Polish to obtain a shine. Our Saddle Dressing should be applied regularly to all oily leathers and as needed on finished leathers. This helps to moisturize the leather uppers and keep them supple.
5. If your boots become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb the moisture and to keep the shape of the boot. Let them dry naturally, never use direct or forced heat.
6. Cleaning - A mixture of one part vinegar to three parts water is a perfect natural cleaner for your boots.
7. Leather soles have a tendency to absorb more moisture when they wear thin. Repairing your boots in good time is a practice worth observing.
