Boot Care Tips For Long Lasting Work Boots

A good pair of work boots is an investment in your comfort, safety and performance on the job. Brands like Mongrel, Steel Blue, Oliver, Blundstone, FXD and Puma are built tough for Australian worksites but even the best boots need proper care to last.

Looking after your boots not only extends their life but also keeps them looking sharp, comfortable and compliant with workplace Australian safety standards.

Here’s a guide on How to Care for your Work Boots 

1. Clean regularly – Brush off dirt and dust after each wear focus especially on the soles, around laces and the zipper .
2. Dry naturally – Avoid direct heat which can damage leather and cause shrinkage.
3. Condition the leather – Use Ren Cream, Dubbin or other leather conditioners to treat your leather boots and extend the life of the leather
4. Waterproofing – Reapply protective sprays often if working in wet conditions. Allow boots to dry properly before apply spray to ensure longevity. 
5. Rotate boots – If possible, alternate pairs to allow boots to fully dry if working in moist areas or outdoors in wet conditions.
6. Do not clean Suede or Nubuck leather with water - Water negatively affects both the colour and texture of suede and nubuck leather. If your suede/nubuck leather boots are looking a bit tired, clean with a fresh soft bristle brush or towel.
