Clean After Every Ride: Use a >damp sponge< with >boot cleaner< to wipe away arena dust, mud, and horse sweat. These elements can dry out the leather and weaken the stitching if left sitting.
Condition with Care: Use >boot conditioner< made specifically for riding boots. Avoid heavy oils or glycerin soaps, which can over-soften the leather and cause the boot to "drop" too much or lose its shape.
Polish for Protection: Use >DeNiro cream< as needed, apply a high-quality cream polish to restore color and add a protective layer against the elements.
Support the Silhouette: Always store your boots with >Boot Trees<. This prevents the leather from folding at the ankle and protects the zipper from kinking.
