Riding boots should be cleaned and polished every week or better, after each use. It is good practice to observe the following instructions:
– Remove the most visible dirt with a soft brush, focusing on the areas near the sole and heel.
– Use a damp sponge and remove any traces of dust and mud, cleaning even the most hidden parts thoroughly.
– Once the boot dry, apply the polish with a brush only along the external side, to prevent the internal part from becoming too slippery, compromising the grip of the leg in the saddle areas.
– Remove any residue, dust or dirt from the zip using the relevant soft brush.
Please note that leather needs to stay clean and hydrated. It is important thus to use a good polish that makes the boots soft, elastic, water-repellent and malleable. This process will also promote correct conservation. Lastly, it is recommended using internal inflatables shapes which prevent the formation of creases on the leg, as well as a good boot bag for proper storage.
