Your feet are the most important part of equipment needed for most activities. Especially when it comes to trekking. Thus you will need a good pair of hiking boots which stays in good shape throughout the seasons. There is nothing worst then wet, stinky and cold feet. So how do I clean hiking boots? Read below for my best tips.
Step 1: Prep your leather hiking boots
First things first, start by removing both shoelaces and putting them aside.
Step 2: Clean hiking boots
Grab a little brush and a basin of water before going outside or use your bathtub. Gently brush the dirt off your hiking boots. And don’t forget to scrub those shoelaces.
Step 3: Waterproof the hiking boots
There are many waterproofing products which can be expensive or hard to find in remote areas. This is why I often use my mom’s trick which never fails. Buy some Vaseline and spread in a circular motion. Cheap and accessible in most places.
Step 4: Let them dry
Let the leather absorb the Vaseline as the hiking boots dry.
Step 5: Put the shoelaces back on
Step 6: Go out hiking
