When it comes to buying a new pair of boots or shoes, it is always a good idea to treat yourself to a new pair of socks as this will enhance the fiitng process.

The most important thing you can do once you have purchased new footwear is to look after it properly from the start - it will perfrom better and last much longer. Be careful not over treat your boots with wax as this can have a detrimental effect on thier perfromance and make repairs much more difficult.

Leather footwear needs to be maintained periodically with proofers such as Grangers G-Wax or Nikwax Waterproof wax to ensure that they remain supple and water repellent.It should not be necessary to do this after evry outing - sometimes a good clean will suffice. Before wearing your leather footwear outdoors for the first time, we reccomend that you go over all the stitching with one of the products shown here.

Generally made using suede and nylon with an additional waterpoof membrane such as Gore-Tex, footwear still needs to be treated with conditoner to protect the uppers and stop them from absorbing water - Nikwax is ideal.

Footbeds should be removed and cleaned after every walk and grit, stones or other debris that gets into the footwear should be removed as soon as possible as they don't puncture the waterproof membrane.

We can't stop your kids feet from growing, but we can help you with our Junior Boot Exchange. Bring them back clean and dry with their original receipt, and depending on their conditon you could get up to 50% pff a new pair. Terms & Conditions apply.
