Who wouldn't want to own a good pair of boots cowboy boots? Almost everyone does; boots play an important part of your feet's protection and for fashion.
It's just that cowboy boots, such as Twisted-X boots, are a bit more expensive than other kinds of footwear. The high price of cowboy boots is due to the materials and the construction techniques used in making the product.
If you have a pair of cowboy boots, you know that you have a not-so-cheap investment. It would be a waste to see that investment go to ruins. That's why your cowboy boots need to be well-cleaned and well-maintained so they would serve you as a classic, good-looking, comfortable footwear that will last a long, long time.
Here are some tips on how to prolong your boot's life.
1. After purchasing your boots from the store, waterproof them immediately. You can usually buy waterproofing products from the same store you bought your boots in. For leather boots, use an oil-based product. Do not use waxes or silicones; these can actually shorten your boot's life by clogging the pores in the leather.
For boots that are made out of synthetic material, do not use an oil-based waterproofing product. Oil won't work well for these boots and can, in fact, damage them. Instead, use a synthetic waterproofing product designed specifically for that material.
The most important part that you need to look for is the welt seams at the midsole; this is where the water is most likely to seep if the boot is not waterproof.
2) Before hiking or taking your boots into the wild, make sure you have broken them in. That means you need to wear them for a week or two around the house, when you go shopping, or when you go to work. Breaking in means softening the sole and getting the material of the boot to stretch and conform to your foot's shape.
Without breaking them in, your boots will be uncomfortable to wear in the outdoors. Also, introducing your unbroken boots suddenly to rugged terrain is more likely to damage them than not.
3) Keeping them clean is essential. Scrape away the mud and dried earth from the treads. Then, wipe the boots with a nylon brush or with a soft cloth. If the dirt has dried up, you may need to wipe the gunk off using a damp cloth before brushing the residue off. Be careful not to soak the boot.
Once dry, apply a boot cleaner as specified in the instructions of the product. Cleaning your boots should be done before waterproofing them.
4) Do not dry heat our boots. That means, do not place them near a fire or blow hot air on them through a hair dryer. This only damages the material, affects the fit, and melts the glue or the stitch sealer that holds everything together. Instead, put them aside and let it dry naturally.
5) Avoid storing your boots for an extended period, especially if you live in a cold climate or if you only hike when you travel. Wearing them regularly will help them keep stretched out and comfortable. This will also keep the soles soft.
6) Lace or strap your boots when you walk around. Walking unlaced will cause unnecessary wear on the inner linings and shred the laces.
Now your boots can last up to decades!
