Boot care

Quality shoes and boots are an investment that will last for many years, with the right treatment. All it takes is a little care every now and then to preserve the finish and prolong the lifespan of your leather footwear.

Red Wing has developed this easy four-step guide for each of their different types of leather. These steps can also be used with our other shoes and boots and the care products are all available at Brund.

 

FOR OILED LEATHERS

  1. Remove dirt from the shoe by cleaning thoroughly with a stiff bristle brush.
  2. Scrub gently with Red Wing Shoes Leather Cleaner, then wipe off the cleaner and dirt with a clean cloth. Boots should then be dried naturally in a cool, dry place, as high heat can remove oils in the leather.
  3. Using leather cleaner reduces the oil in the leather. To re-add oil to the leather apply Red Wing Shoes Boot Oil or Leather Conditioner as directed.
  4. Add extra protection to preserve your footwear investment. Red Wing Leather Protector provides an invisible shield from water, dirt, oil, and mud.

    FOR FEATHERSTONE LEATHERS

    1. Remove dirt from the shoe by cleaning thoroughly with a stiff bristle brush.
    2. Soak a soft, clean cloth with Red Wing Leather Cleaner. Clean the boot thoroughly with the cloth. Boots should then be dried naturally in a cool, dry place, as high heat can remove oils in the leather.
    3. Gently apply Red Wing Shoe Creme with a clean, soft cloth.
    4. Shine the boot by brushing before the shoe creme is fully dried.

    FOR ROUGHOUT LEATHERS

    1. Remove dirt with a suede cleaner kit brush.
    2. Clean remaining heavy dirt with the rubber suede cleaner. DO NOT use leather cleaner for roughtout leathers, as it can stain and change the texture of the leather.
    3. Remove loose fibers with the cleaner kit brush
    4. Lastly, apply Red Wing Leather Protector spray to all surfaces of the boots. Red Wing Leather Protector provides an invisible shield from water, dirt, oil, and mud.
