Increase the Longevity of Your Work Boots

Boot care tips and products to help increase the lifespan of your work boots.

1. Clean regularly - Dirt and chemicals can damage the outer material of the boot as well as the outsole. At the end of each day, brush your boots off to remove dirt and debris. Once a week, clean your boots with boot cleaner using a cloth or brush.

2. Store properly - Don't let your boots dry out. Make sure your storage area has good air circulation, is not near a heater, and is not in the sunlight.

3. Replace laces - Laces are usually the first thing to go. If you wear lace-up boots, always have a second pair of laces on hand. To help your laces last longer, take the time to significantly loosen the laces each time you put on and take off your boots.

4. Replace worn insoles - Insoles will deteriorate sooner than your boots will. Replacing worn insoles will extend the boot life and also enhance your comfort.
