Here are the most-wanted boot trends for Spring and how to make them last.

Boot Care Tips

If you’re going to indulge in the latest boot trends for Spring you’ll want them to last longer than just one season. Here are some boot care tips to make sure the money you spend on your new boots doesn’t go to waste.

Closet storage

How you store your boots in your closet definitely affects how long they’ll last. If your boots are in a piled mess on your closet floor you’re not only damaging the material and the structure of your boot, you’re losing valuable closet storage space. Boot Butler is the first of its kind for boot storage. With patented technology and a clever design, Boot Butler lets you hang your boots in the ideal position for easy access, visibility, and safe-keeping.

Stain protector

We’ve all been there: Whether you spill your morning coffee or there’s a giant puddle of gray slush in front of your office entrance, it’s the worst when your brand new pair of boots are stained. Prevent the worst from happening, and make your boots stain resistant with a stain protector product.

Add an extra rubber sole

It’s great when your boots look good from the outside, but what about how they feel on the inside? To protect the soles of your boots and make them last longer, it’s a good idea to insert a thin rubber sole for an extra layer of protection.

Leather conditioner

If you own a pair of leather boots you’ll want to take good care of them. Conditioning your leather is essential to maintaining their moisture and overall appearance. Cracked leather makes your boots look old. To keep your leather boots looking new no matter how many times you’ve worn them or how long ago you bought them, condition them regularly with a moisturizing leather conditioner.

Spring is in session, and whether you’re looking to buy in on the latest trends or wondering how to make your current boots last another season, taking proper care of your boots, new or old, is essential.
