Never dry your boots by an open fire or artificial heat source, as this will cause the leather to harden, shrink and crack. It can even cause the leather to pull away from the sole. Always dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Always store your boots in a well ventilated, cool place away from sunlight or any heat which will tarnish the leather.

You should use a leather conditioner on your boots whenever they need them. If your boots are looking a little scuffed and worn, always remember to use a conditioner.

Similarly, you should use a suede protector on your suede boots when they are looking worn, and before you wear them on a rainy or sunny day.

You should only use good quality cleaning substances and ones specific to the material of your boots.
