Country boots are a practical choice of footwear for outdoor wear as they are designed to keep your feet dry, comfortable and supported. As their name suggests, they have a country look and are built for a range of countryside activities including horse riding, farming, walking and more.
With versatile wear options, country boots are built for durability but do require some care to ensure long-lasting performance. In this guide, we share our tips on how to clean country boots with the Moretta boot care range.
When you first get your country boots, you can help protect them from the elements with the Moretta All Purpose Protector Spray. Suitable for leather, suede and nubuck, the spray adds an invisible layer that shields against rain and prevents stains.
Once you start wearing your country boots, you can then start to keep them in tidy condition after wear by removing dirt and debris with a damp cloth. You may need to use a stiff Moretta Shoe Brush to remove any dried mud from the soles of the boots.
After a few wears, the Moretta Leather Conditioner can be used on your country boots to restore the leather’s softness, nourish and keep them from drying out. The Moretta Leather Conditioner is suitable for waxed or oil finishes and should not be used on suede or nubuck.
To give your country boots extra protection in wet conditions, the Moretta Leather Balm can be applied as it repels water and liquids. Formulated with natural waxes, the leather balm will help prevent salt stains, cracks and wrinkles.
When your country boots aren’t being used, you can insert boot trees to help keep their shape and use a boot bag to prevent scratches. Your country boots should be kept in a cool, dry place to prevent damage from heat and moisture.
