Boot Cleaning

I wanted to share a tiny project that turned out way better than I had hoped- I cleaned my boots!

I bought these boots about 7 or 8 years ago from Timberland, and have served me well through the winter seasons in Virginia.  I don’t know if I have ever done anything to them except beat them up and wear them around in all kinds of bad weather.  So they were looking pretty rough.  In the last year, I received a Timberland gift card and thought “Hey! I can buy a new pair of boots!”  But as I was looking through the site, I saw that they sold their own boot cleaners and leather conditioners.  And instead of buying a whole new pair of boots…why not try to see if I can clean my own up first?  A few days later, I received by boot sauce in the mail.

It is super easy to use– there is a foam tip applicator on the end of the tube with a little hole in the middle.  You just squeeze the tube a little bit, and rub around the surface of your leather.

I was amazed at the difference it made instantly.

What a Difference!

What a Difference!

I went over both boots, and I feel as though I have a brand new pair (or close enough to it).  I’m sure there are cheaper ways of cleaning and conditioning your leather, but I thought this product was made for these boots and it delivered!
