Top 5 Boot Care Tips by King Ranch Saddle Shop

I still remember the last few days staying in the winter of Vancouver. The air was cold and my skin became drier than when I first foot into North America. 

I was wearing my cousin's boots. It was a wine red high knee leather boots (similar to these). I need to take at least 5 minutes to put them on. That was the very first time I wear a pair of shoes that covered beyond my ankles. Walking in high knee boots were not as difficult as I thought since they fit me perfectly.

The winter weather can be really nasty. My friends back in Vancouver even shared with me that they seldom wash their cars during winter as they will get dirty easily. The aftermath of snowing turns the ground into brown and greyish colour and it's so slippery. This is the time I thanked my cousin for her pair of boots.

I wonder how do people keep their shoes that they may or not wear often in tip top condition? King Ranch Saddle Shop shared with me their Top 5 Boot Care Tips. And, if you are looking for a pair of classic cowboy boots or a stylish and femine cowgirl boots, be sure to check out King Ranch's collection of boots for both men and women!


On the final night, I brought a pair of Sav's rain boots at Costco before I started to pack for home. They have florals designs. The weather in Singapore makes the glue of footwear wear off easily because of the heat. Up till now, it has been 3 years and my rain boots are still in shape. I only wear them once a year, mostly for Anime Festival Asia. The trick I did to keep them in shape is to store them indoors and stuff newspaper into the boots. Similar to how you take care of leather bags.

Now it hits me to recall my favourite black booties. It was my first pair of black ankle boots with heels. I brought them along with me to BC. I wore them to watch The Nutcracker and walked along the Christmas markets with the locals.

As most of you should know that I live in Singapore. The tiny red dot that resides on the equator of mother earth. I get to enjoy the summer every day. Supposedly due to the humid weather, the skin of the leather boots started to peel off when I was back in Singapore. King Ranch Saddle Shop told me that I need to condition my booties and even shared with me some tips on how to take care of leather products.


How interesting. If not for King Ranch Saddleshop, I would never ever learn to wash my leather boots. I am really excited to get a new pair of boots after I received my pay cheque!

P/S: I have found a new part-time job, guys! Wish me all the best!
