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.
