JK Western Boot CareUpdated 23 days ago
You should store all JK Western boots in a dry and dark location. Do your best to minimize moisture from setting into the leather, which can shorten the life span of your boots.
Additionally, tissue paper, such as the kind used for gift wrapping and newspaper, can help keep your boots dry, as can a cedar shoe/boot tree. Select one that will not stretch the boot leather when choosing a cedar shoe tree.
