Be Proud of Your Harley Davidson Boots, Take
Care of Them.
You can lengthen the life of your Harley Davidson boots and improve their appearance by following the steps listed below.
Bust the dust.
Remember that leather
is skin and will react the same way, so the most important thing you can
do in caring for any piece of leather footwear is to wipe off the dust.
It will settle into the creases of your Harley boots.
It acts like
sandpaper, cutting at the finish with every step. Sooner or later, it
will cut through not only the finish but the fiber itself and the
leather will split.
Wipe off your boots frequently, not just before you
shine them, but every time you take them off. You don't need a special
cloth or brush.
Wash off the dirt.
After you wipe them,
clean your Davidson boots. You can use leather cleaner that cleans
motorcycle boots just as well as saddle soap or better and other time
worn methods. What's more, this cleaner has an oil base and is actually
good for the leather.

Condition the leather.
Leather conditioning
is a lot like skin conditioning. You put in oils and conditioners to
replace those that have dried up since the leather was originally
tanned. Some leathers will need more than others. It needs to be done
more often in dry climates. If you shine your motorcycle boots
regularly, you can condition them every other time. Apply the
conditioner right after you clean them while the boots are still damp
because moist leather absorbs more conditioner. Keep in mind, though,
that the leather can only absorb so much. If you put too much on it,
it just gets sticky and dull.
Polish your motorcycle boots with shoe
cream.
This is different from wash or liquid polish. It should match the color
of the boot and rubbed in. Give the cream a few moments to dry and then
brush or buff the boots to a shine.
Following these steps will elongate the life
of your Harley Davidson motorcycle boots. It will also allow you
to wear them proudly and want to put them on every chance you get.
