]]>Many distressed-style leather boot owners are apprehensive about using leather dressings because they can contain dyes. Protective products that contain dyes have the potential to ruin or significantly alter the patina in distressed-style leather boots. Cleaning and protecting distressed-style leather boots must therefore only be possible with water and perhaps a little soap. Boot Guard® gives distressed-boot owners another option.
Boot Guard® will not destroy or impair the dyed-in patina in distressed-style leather boots. While Boot Guard® will repair boots that have been distressed through wear-and-tear, boots intentionally distressed as a fashion style will not be harmed. Boot Guard® cleans, conditions and waterproofs the leather while preserving the original patina.
The image below is of a distressed-style women’s boot. Notice the intentional distressed-style of the boot color:
These fashionable boots have an intentional distressed look, and are in need of cleaning and waterproof protection.
We applied Boot Guard® by hand to these boots, then buffed off with terry cloth towel:
Notice how the dirt is gone especially from the toe areas but the distressed look is maintained.
You can optionally go further with Boot Guard® by buffing out with a medium shoe brush:
The boots look much better and Boot Guard® did not alter the distressed look of the boots.
Boot Guard® is a comprehensive patina protecting solution to caring for and maintaining the look of distressed-style boots and leathers. Boot Guard® protects against drying, cracking, stitching damage, delamination and salt stains. Your boot’s color will not be altered, and they will be protected from water, mud and dirt, and they’ll shine like new! Go to bootguard.com to find out where to buy today.

]]>Why does leather care matter? Leather is unique as a material — even after it’s been tanned, leather has a life of its own. If you care for it properly, it will maintain its color, suppleness, and integrity.
To properly maintain leather, ensure that your leather is:
- Clean
- Conditioned
- Waterproofed
How do I clean my leather boots?
Cleaning is fairly straightforward. It’s important to remove dust, dirt, and mud from the boots, as fine silicates in dirt can scratch the leather surface. This doesn’t have to be a lengthy or complicated process. Use a good leather cleaner or even just plain water and a rag. We do recommend that you avoid using soap. Once the leather is fully dry, you have a perfect surface to condition and seal.
How do I condition my leather?
Next is conditioning, or “feeding” the leather as some people call it. This is essentially just rubbing an oil into the surface of dry leather. Sometimes people will use mink oil, or tallow, but Boot Guard® uses natural oils that soak into and nurture the leather. Unlike with mink oil or tallow, no animals are harmed in production of Boot Guard®, and it has a pleasant odor.
Using Boot Guard®, you’ll start to see the results of leather conditioning immediately. The leather darkens a little, and as it soaks in the leather will get softer and more flexible. It’s a bit like turning the clock back on your shoes or boots — leather conditioners make leather look and feel brand new!
Using just a leather oil-based product doesn’t last and is not as effective. The restorative work done by the oil on the leather will fade over time as it’s washed away by water and solvents. The leather will dry out after the restorative oils have been stripped away and shoe or boot leather will start to look aged again.
How do I protect my boots from wear and damage?
Luckily, this is a problem we’ve solved. Boot Guard® incorporates beeswax as a natural sealant, so it prevents drying and protects it from the elements. Leather that’s treated with Boot Guard® stays treated, and only requires reapplication under heavy use to replenish the protective coating.
There are many leather conditioners out there, and a lot of wax sealants. Boot Guard® Leather Dressing gives you both in a convenient, time-saving single formulation.
