How to apply Leather conditionerUpdated 25 days ago

To properly apply leather conditioner to boots, start with clean, dry leather. Apply a small amount of conditioner with a soft cloth using circular motions, ensuring all seams and joints are treated. Allow the conditioner to absorb for a few minutes (or as directed on the product), then buff away any excess with a clean, dry cloth or a brush for a shine. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Clean the boots: Before conditioning, remove any dirt or debris with a brush or damp cloth. 

  • Test the conditioner: Apply a small amount of conditioner to a hidden area of the boot to check for any adverse reactions or changes in color. 

  • Apply the conditioner: Using a soft cloth or applicator, apply a small amount of conditioner to the leather, working it in with circular motions. 

  • Ensure full coverage: Make sure to treat all areas of the boot, including seams and joints. 

  • Allow it to absorb: Let the conditioner sit for a few minutes (or as directed on the product) to allow it to penetrate the leather. 

  • Buff the boots: Use a clean, dry cloth or brush to buff the boots, removing any excess conditioner and creating a shine. 

  • Allow to dry: Let the boots air dry, away from direct heat sources, until fully dry. 

  • Buff again (optional): If desired, you can buff the boots again with a clean cloth for an extra shine. 

  • Regular maintenance: Condition your boots every few months, or more frequently if they are exposed to harsh conditions.
