You must have spent a lot of money on your suede or leather boots because let’s face it, good boots are not cheap and cheap boots are not good. Therefore, you also have to spend a little time in taking care of your companions which help you step out and walk confidently. Maintaining your boots is not difficult or expensive, but it needs to be done at regular intervals. Save your shoes from being mistreated with regular maintenance and your feet will love you for this because the better you look after them, the longer they’ll last. So, here are some easy tips and tricks on how to take care of your boots by YouTuber Chriselle Lim who is a fashion blogger and stylist.

#1 Keep your shoes in the shoe box

Don’t throw away your shoe boxes. Instead make some space for them in your closet and keep your shoes in the box. This will protect your shoes from dirt and keep them in the best condition possible.

#2 Feed your shoes with some papers 

Grab some tissues or newspaper and stuff them into your long boots. This will help in maintaining their shape and also prevent them from creasing.

#3 Invest in a suede eraser and welt brush

Suede shoes get dirty very easily and you need to clean them up every time you step into them. It’s better to buy a nice suede eraser and a welt brush to remove the lint and dirt from your shoes.

#4 Clean your shoes with lemon and water

Mix equal parts of lemon and water and clean your leather shoes with this mixture. The acidity in lemon helps break down the dirt and grime. 

#5 Add shine to your suede boots with a few drops of olive oil

 This is an organic method that will give your boots a shiny finish. Put a few drops of olive oil on a piece of cotton cloth and wipe your shoes.
