Conditioning and securing your boots


It is crucial to hydrate and hydrate your leather Chelsea boots to avoid cracking. As leather dries, it’s more vulnerable to cracking. To avoid cracks, apply conditioner or leather cream at least two times per year to keep your leather soft with a nice sheen. Use The RM Williams Conditioner as well as The Debary Leather Cream. Both are designed specifically to protect and soften leathers. Make sure to clean your boots prior to applying the leather conditioner on. Apply the leather conditioner using an unclean cloth to get rid of all dirt and grime from the inside of your Chelsea boots, like those using RM Williams leather cleaner.

Resoling


Many Chelsea boots come using Goodyear welted soles, which allow you to resolve them effortlessly over the course of wear.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish to the exterior and interior of the boot

Clean the leather. Don’t use harsh chemicals or detergents, which can damage and dull the leather, changing its color and appearance over time.         

A lukewarm bath with a mild soap and water solution will remove most general dirt from your boots. If your boots are particularly dirty you may need to scrub them lightly with a soft brush to loosen any stubborn stains. Be sure that the water is only slightly above room temperature as any extreme changes in temperature can cause dryness or brittleness in the boot material as well as cracking of the seams which will leave visible marks if not repaired by a professional.

Once clean, allow your boots to air-dry at room temperature before continuing on to the next step.

Condition the leather. Leather conditioners come in various forms, including sprays and creams that help to soften and revitalize the boot’s appearance. A light coat of vegetable oil may also be used if preferred; both will soften the leather without weighing it down or leaving an oily residue behind. Vegetable oil is ideal for use on distressed leather, which has been softened by rough wear but not necessarily damaged.

 For boots with crocodile or alligator skin finishes, apply a small amount of moisturizing cream directly to your gloves before rubbing them into the boots’ material. This particular kind of leather has scales rather than pores, so you must take extra steps to ensure that it stays supple over time.
