Quality leather boots, like Sendra, are designed to last for years if you give them the proper care. Here, we explain how to keep them in perfect condition, whether they are made of smooth leather, suede, or nubuck.
Basic cleaning after each use
Remove dust and surface dirt with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using too much water, especially on untreated leather, as it can leave stains or dry out the leather.
Hydration: the key to durability
Apply a cream or grease specifically for leather every 4-6 weeks, depending on use. This prevents the leather from cracking over time and keeps the color vibrant. For suede or nubuck boots, use specific spray products; never use creams, which mat down the velvety surface.
Store them correctly
Use shoe trees or stuff them with paper to maintain their shape when not in use. Store them in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which dry out the leather.
Protection against rain
Apply a waterproofing spray before wearing them on rainy days, especially on suede models. If they get wet, let them air dry at room temperature; never use a hairdryer or place them near a direct heat source.
With these basic care steps, your Sendra boots will be with you for many years, gaining that unique character that only well-cared-for leather develops.
