Step-by-Step: How to Clean Riding Boots

1. Prep:

Gather the supplies listed above so that you have everything you need on hand.

2. Clean off the Boots:

Remove dirt and dust by cleaning your boots with a damp cloth

• Don’t forget to clean your zips! You can use the cloth or a soft-bristled brush to clean dust and dirt off the zips.
• If necessary, use a soft brush to remove scuffs and remaining dirt.
• For stubborn dirt and mud, you may need to use leather cleaner (optional). Stay away from household cleaners. Instead, stick with a quality leather cleaner, like ourAriat Footwear Cleaner.

3. Condition the Boots:

Spray a small amount of leather conditioner onto a dry cloth or dry sponge and rub into the boots in small circular motions starting at the bottom. Make sure the leather conditioner is fully absorbed.

• If your boots still feel dry, you may need to apply more conditioner.
• If you are cleaning boots that are a combination of smooth leather and suede/nubuck, please be aware that leather conditioner is not suitable for use on the suede/nubuck areas.

4. Apply Polish:

Next, dab a clean dry cloth into the polish and apply in the same way as the leather conditioner, rubbing in small circular motions from the bottom of the boots up until fully absorbed.

• If you are cleaning boots that are a combination of smooth leather and suede/nubuck, please be aware that polish is not suitable for use on the suede/nubuck areas.

5. Buff your Boots:

To make your boots look even better, buff them with a dry cloth or soft brush. To buff, rub the cloth or brush in wide, quick sweeping motions across your boots.

6. Waterproof your Boots:

In a well-ventilated area, spray a waterproofing spray evenly all over dry boots. Allow to dry for 12 hours for maximum performance. Remove any excess with a cloth.

• Aside from cleanings before shows and events, the frequency at which you should clean your boots really depends on how much you use them.
