End of Season Boot Maintenance

[jj2096]

As my hunting season has come to a close and I'm cleaning and organizing all of my hunting gear for winter's nap, I was just curious on what ya'll do for regular boot cleaning/maintenance at the end of season? I have a pair of Crispi guides and have just taken a general boot oil and rubbed into the leather at the end of the year. Any other products you guys like? TIA.

I clean them and rub in some nikwax.

I usually use the boot manufacturers oil or spray. Definitely be careful with oil you do not want to saturate the leather and leave it to soak in. On Mountain boots like yours it may oversoften the leather and take the natural stiffness out of them which gives you the extra support in the backcountry. Speaking from experience with a pair of boots once.

End of season......what is that? I regularly clean and treat my lowa tibets. I wear them every day.

I have the lowa cleaning kit. Clean them up and apply the conditioner/water proof every few months depending how hard I hunt them

Wash them with water and a brush. My crispis get their crispi cream treatment.
