Give your Blundstones the love they deserve!
While our boots are designed to last, it's vital that you care for them to help prolong their life and lustre.
Our boots are made from leathers with various finishes, suede, nubuck and canvas. Each needs specific care in order to keep them clean.
Follow our tips below to properly care for your Blundstone boots.
CLEANING LEATHER
First, remove any caked dirt on your boots with a soft bristled brush or damp cloth, and leave your boots to air dry. Please ensure that your boots are away from direct sunlight or any heaters, as they will dry out the leather.
Apply leather polish, spray or cream to the leather to help maintain your boots. If you are using a polish for the first time, try it on an inconspicuous area of the boot to check whether it alters the colour or appearance.
If using a polish, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a polishing cloth or brush and rub onto the shoe in circular motions.
Wipe away the residue and again leave to dry.
CLEANING SUEDE
Use a suede brush, to scrub off any surface stains or dirt.
If you have any scuff marks, you can remove them with a gum eraser. Simply rub the scuff with the eraser and wipe away the rubber debris.
Then dampen a suede brush with a little water and pour a small amount of suede and leather cleaner on it. Then clean the shoe, focussing your attention on any particularly stained spots.
Dab the shoes with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture and leave to air dry.
Once dry, apply a water and stain repellent spray on the shoe to help prolong their life. Some suedes are best treated prior to wear if they have not been treated.
It's a good idea to waterproof boots regularly to protect the leather from staining. If the leather is wet, let it dry naturally prior to cleaning or using any cleaning substances.
CLEANING NUBUCK
Use a dry nubuck cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then brush gently with a nubuck brush. Use a circular motion, taking care not to spend more than a few seconds on any area.
If you have any scuffs, remove them with a gum eraser. Simply rub the scuff with the eraser and wipe away the rubber debris. Alternatively, try a spray-on nubuck cleaning solution, then wipe the area with a nubuck cloth. It is important to follow the instructions on such products and ensure it is tested on a small area before wider application.
Dab the shoes with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture and leave to air dry.
Apply a nubuck water and stain repellent on the shoe to help prolong the life of your shoes.
Remember, it's a good idea to waterproof boots regularly to protect the leather from staining. If the leather is wet, let it dry naturally prior to cleaning or using any cleaning substances.
CLEANING VEGAN
Caring for your vegan boots is easy—all you need to do is follow the below steps:
Wipe boots clean with a damp cloth
Leave your boots to air dry away from direct sunlight or any heaters
Remove and wash the footbed separately in mild soap and water and air dry flat
No creams are required as the upper material of our vegan boots is onMicro® microfibre.
EXTRA TIPS
Never dry your boots by an open fire or artificial heat source, as this will cause the leather to harden, shrink and crack. It can even cause the leather to pull away from the sole. Always dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Always store your boots in a well ventilated, cool place away from sunlight or any heat which will tarnish the leather.
You should use a leather conditioner on your boots whenever they need them. If your boots are looking a little scuffed and worn, always remember to use a conditioner.
Similarly, you should use a suede protector on your suede boots when they are looking worn, and before you wear them on a rainy or sunny day.
Avoid exposing your boots to chemical contamination. Solvents, strong acids and alkalis will do irreparable damage on leather, whilst commonplace substances like milk and salt are also highly damaging. In the event of exposure, clean the boots immediately.
You should only use good quality cleaning substances and ones specific to the material of your boots.

Early birthday present for my daughter. I always buy from Foot forward shoes as they have excellent service. The best competitive price too. Highly Recommend

Initially Ordered the wrong size, foot forward were so easy to deal with to organise a return and replacement with a new size. Clear process and great communication
Amazing shoes,loved my order. Both pretty brave and bobux shoes are stylish, comfortable and durable...they have to be to make it through muddy, sandy and wet kindy days! my son can work the velcro strap himself as well. Both arrived promptly and securely in original shoes boxes in a single courier bag. Highly recommend foot forward shoes and these two shoe brands.

I love these boots! My second pair of Blundstones, as the last pair lasted years! I went with another brand Chelsea style boot when I replaced that pair but they were never as good as Blunnies. Love this new colour too. These boots are so comfortable, no wearing them in or blisters for me. So versatile - I wear them out with jeans, to cold winter morning sports games, school drop off, rainy walks with my kids and visits to our friends farm. Hope I get as many years out of this pair as my last! Best price with Foot Forward and so grateful for hassle free exchange to get the size right.
Thanks so much for your order and time to place you review! We are so happy that you love them. They really are such a great style that go with anything and wear anywhere. I hope you get many years out of this pair :)
LOVE these boots. Bought them as a replacement for my trusty old Dr Marten chelsea boots that had given up the ghost. Spent a long time thinking about this purchase and finally bit the bullet. So pleased I did. GREAT price from Foot Forward and speedy delivery. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! We are glad that you love them, so comfortable!
Ordering and shipment works really well! Tracking information and notificationa were sent until arrival. I was suprised to see that my boots came with a pair of insoles without extra charge and the Team at Foot Forward Shoes exceed my expectations by sending a personal note and a really cool Beanie as a gift.
Thanks so much Peter, we are so glad you loved them

10/10 would shop again
Cheers Holy
Thanks so much Holly, it's a pleasure <3
Really comfortable boots, great for the Christchurch winter so far. After ~10 km its even better, the sole needed the break-in a bit. Bought some Mink Oil to keep it in shape and protect it from the elements. As a sidenote, I couldnt find any better price than at Food Forward Shoes:)
Thanks so much Adam, thanks for the tip!
The shoes arrived immediately and there was great communication
Thanks so much Sienne <3
Lovely boots! Very comfortable, would recommend sizing up in this style, I ordered them in my usual size 7 but felt they were far too small especially with a thick sock on! Love these boots they will be worn on both the farm and in town 🙂
Thanks Roanna, we really appreciate your feedback!
