Fitting Your Western Boots

1.  You should have to stand and give a firm pull to get the boot on, if top (throat) size is correct.

2. After the boot is on your foot, the fit around the instep should be snug, but not tight.

3. The ball (widest part) of the foot should fit in the widest part of the boot.

 

4.  The Final Check -- Stand and step forward hard into the boot.  The ends of your toes should NOT touch the sides of the boot.

 

  1. Keep them Clean!  Regularly clean your boots with a good non-alkaline leather cleaner (like Lexol Leather Cleaner).  Use a soft cloth and rinse with water.  Remember that saddle soap is soap, and is therefore alkaline.
     

  2. Condition your boots.  Boot leather needs to have its natural moisture restored often with a good conditioner (like Lexol).  Wax is NOT a substitute for conditioner.  Never condition boots prior to cleaning.
     

  3. Keep boots away from direct heat.  The best way to dry your boots is to walk them dry.  They may also be air dried away from all heat sources.
