Introducing Dixon Boots: The Perfect Blend of Style and Durability
When it comes to cowboy boots, one brand that stands the test of time is Dixon Boots. With a rich heritage rooted in Texas, Dixon has been crafting exceptional cowboy boots for generations. Our boots not only exude style but also boast unparalleled durability and craftsmanship. If you're the proud owner of a pair of Dixon cowboy boots, here are some additional care tips to ensure they stay in top-notch condition.
1. Cleaning Your Boots
Cleaning Your Dixon Boots Dixon boots are built to endure rugged conditions, but proper cleaning is still essential. The first step in caring for your boots is to clean them regularly. Cowboy boots can quickly accumulate dust, dirt, and grime, so it is essential to remove any buildup to prevent damage to the leather. Use a soft-bristled brush or cloth to remove any loose dirt or dust, and then wipe them down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaps, as they can damage the leather. Instead, use a specialized boot cleaner like the Bickmore Boot Cleaner or the Fiebing's Saddle Soap, both of which are excellent for cleaning and conditioning leather.
2.Conditioning The Leather
Conditioning the premium leather to preserve the suppleness and prevent cracking, Dixon boots require regular conditioning. Leather is a natural material that can dry out and crack over time. To keep your boots moisturized and in good condition, you need to condition the leather regularly. Use a high-quality leather conditioner like the Bickmore Bick 4 Leather Conditioner or the Chamberlain's Leather Milk Conditioner. Apply the conditioner to the leather using a soft cloth, working it into the leather in a circular motion. Allow the boots to dry before wearing them again. Conditioning your boots will help to prevent cracks and keep the leather looking supple.
3. Protecting Your Boots
Protecting Your Dixon Boots While Dixon boots are designed to handle tough conditions, a little extra protection goes a long way. Use a water-resistant spray like the Cadillac Shield Water and Stain Protector or the Sof Sole Waterproofer to protect the leather from water and other liquids. Apply the spray to the boots and allow them to dry before wearing them. You can also use a leather protector like the Mink Oil Leather Protector or the Obenauf's Leather Oil to prevent stains and scratches.
4. Storing Your Boots
Storing Your Dixon Boots with Care Proper storage is key to preserving the shape and condition of your Dixon boots. Find a cool and dry spot away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent any potential damage. To maintain the boot's shape, stuff them with tissue paper or invest in boot trees. This practice ensures that your Dixon boots retain their distinctive silhouette even during prolonged storage periods. Remember to avoid airtight containers as they can trap moisture, leading to unwanted mold or mildew growth.
5. Getting Your Boots Resoled
Expert Resoling for Longevity Over time, the soles of your Dixon boots may wear down due to regular use. To extend the life of your beloved boots, enlist the expertise of a professional cobbler who specializes in cowboy boot resoling. They will carefully remove the worn-out sole and replace it with a fresh one, ensuring that your Dixon boots continue to provide exceptional support, comfort, and protection for your feet.
In conclusion, caring for your Dixon cowboy boots is a testament to your appreciation for quality craftsmanship and timeless style. By following these tips and using the recommended products, you can ensure that your boots remain a cherished companion for many years to come.
