The weather outside may be horrible,
but your boots don't have to be.

Have no fear, with these simple tips, you can keep every pair of your beloved boots looking great all season long.

1 The perfect time to spray those fab new boots with a leather or suede protector is before wearing them. Always make sure to fully cover the heels, soles and especially the grooves.

2 Salt can start damaging boots immediately (making the leather dry out and buckle), so the best time to wipe your boots with BootRescue is as soon as you come in from the snow and slush. However, if your boots have already been soiled, do not fear. Just give them a thorough going-over with BootRescue wipes, including the heels and the grooves where salt can collect and do the most damage.

3 For suede boots, once you've cleaned the salt stains off with BootRescue, brush them with a stiff suede brush to keep the suede looking its best. For really stubborn stains, you can use something hard to rub them off, like a nail file.

4 From time to time, it's a good idea to re-apply the leather or suede protector to your boots to keep them as well protected as possible.

5 To keep the shape of your boots when you're not wearing them you can use wooden boot stuffers, but stuffing them with newspaper works just as well (and saves you money).

6 Sunlight or extreme heat can cause leather to dry out, fade or crack, so it's best to store your boots out of direct sunlight in a temperature-controlled environment.

7 When you store your boots over the summer months, make sure they're thoroughly cleaned, as leaving them dirty and salt-encrusted can damage them for good.
