Simple ways to repair your cowboy boots

Cowboy boots sometimes are exposed to tough weather conditions and uneven terrain, so chances are that they will get damaged. Your pair would soon be worn out if a minor damage is not repaired in time. Below you will find some simple ways to fix your cowboy boots by yourself.


If your boot has a small crack in its sole, use Shoe Goo to repair them. This fabulous adhesive has special effects on sealing cracks or splits in shoes that are made from leather and rubber. Many shoe repair shops offer Shoe Goo that only costs a few dollars.


Minor scratches on your cowboy boot still can be fixed easily. First, determine the material of your boot. If it is made of leather, you can fix the scratches with a leather lotion. This product can moisture the leather and therefore prevent any further crack. Just use a clean soft cloth to apply some leather lotion and wipe your boot. This can smoothen out and hide scratches. However, if your pair is made of suede, use a dry cleaning bar instead of leather lotion. The composition of the dry cleaning bar is quite similar to that of a pencil eraser. The scratches on the sued boots can be erased with this bar. Afterwards, use a brush to back up the fiber of the suede.


If there are leaks on your boot, it is recommended that you apply waterproofing products such as mink oil. Treat the seams on your boot with a water-proofing spray after the oil is dry. For better protection, you also need to apply this spray to the inside of your pair.


If your cowboy boots are seriously damaged, you may need to take them to a shoe repair shop and have them repaired by a professional.
