NOTES ON SUEDE

 

Be sure to store suede boots in a way that they can breathe. Keep them away from light and damp environments.

 

If your suede boots get wet, soak up excess moisture with a clean towel, then allow the suede to dry naturally. While boot trees can expedite drying, never use a heat source to speed up the process.

 

Use a nail file or a wire bristle brush to remove dry mud and scuff marks. Be gentle, using delicate strokes

 

OTHER GENERAL PRESERVATION TIPS

 

USE EDGE DRESSING to make outsoles and heels look like new.

 

LET BOOTS DRY at room temperature after you clean them.

 

DO NOT STORE BOOTS in cold or damp places as boots can mildew.

 

USE BOOT TREES to maintain boots' shape (see boot tree guide).

 

REGARDING CEDAR BOOT TREES

 

Daily use of a cedar boot tree will help maintain the boots' original shape and prevent them from curling. Additionally, feet typically perspire an eighth of a cup of moisture every day. Left unchecked, the moisture is permanently absorbed into the boot lining, decreasing the life of the boots. By placing your boots on a tree every night, moisture is absorbed into the tree and the cedar aroma naturally deodorizes any odors.
