Boot care and why I can't be arsed...

[Stalker62]

Don't start.

I know.

I am a terrible human being (especially) when it comes to caring for my Stalking boots.




So before you all jump up on your





What's your boot regime?

What's your boot regime?

I used to religiously paint mine with a beeswax product every week with the aid of a hair drier (hers not mine lol) until I got at least two coats into the leather. Now i`m half arsed and cbf!

Have two identical pairs, worn turn and turnabout for a week at a time. At the end of the week, the worn pair gets rinsed off, allowed to dry naturally over the course of the week, and then dubbined before wearing again.

Never used to bother to be honest but now clean them off after, remove laces and allow them to dry, then treat them with laksen‘s boot dubbin, but also do the same with all mine and the wifes stuff cartridge bags gun slip and the truck.
it’s just easier once you get a routine to keep on top of things

my boot care regimen looks like yours!
occasionally clean and re dubbin,wear till knackered then replace.just got 2 pairs of zamblan boots unused fro the charity shop for a tenner .
my pair of dubarry boots were looked after and the soles fell off after a year so what's the point!

Ask work for a new pair every year.

What are you hunting in those grey and pink fury boots

 

[lochty]

Rinse, then put in cupboard beside gas boiler. Wear then repeat....

Just like at the golf club, I use an air line. Golf club has one at the clubhouse to fully clean debris from cleats, outsole and upper.

I have a little unit at home which removes all debris from boots in quick time. Then run a cloth over them.

If its properly muddy, I use wellies. Wellies are a PITA in the warm months and boots are a PITA in wet months. I prefer boots in terms of comfort and support but wellies these days are very very good. Better than the dogsh*t you used to get 30yrs ago.

As Roy Castle used to say, you cannot be a record breaker without dedication. That is impressive

 

[Foxyboy43]

Dear oh dear. I just leave mine on the new carpet outside the bedroom door then the boot fairy bins cleans them for me…..
