Caring for DeNiro Boots?

[dressage_diva]

Just bought myself a pair of DeNiro brown soft leather schooling boots. Any recommendations as to what products I should use to keep them in good condition? Thanks

Before you use them spray them with protector you get from good shoe shops. Only use them to ride in, let them dry naturally if they get wet. Cleaning I always use good quality ordinary shoe polish, then after each cleaning I respray with protector. I have myself just bought a new pair of Equiclass brown boots, but my current pair I had 3 years and they still look amazing.

Thanks have already worn them a few times but will go buy a protective spray straight away and some polish. I presume the spray won't affect their softness?

I've just bought the cream off the joshua jones site to try, I've only braved wearing mine once so far though, they really need breaking in!

No the spray does not mark them or make them stiffer, just means that the water rolls of a little easier and does not mark. The lovely thing about proper boot polish over the creams is that they put the colour back in the leather as well as giving a shine.
