Storing muddy motocross boots?

Question

will it hurt my motocross boots if i store them muddy? The mud is completely dry, and caked on. I am going to put them in a garbage bag and put them under my bed. will it do anything dangerous to my boots?

Answer 1

no. i am in the same situation as you, mine are COMPLETELY COVERED in mud, they are dried up rock hard, have also been in a garbage bag like yours, and have been there for 4 months (havent riden in a while)

Answer 2

It won't hurt them but why not take 2 minutes to clean them instead. A real quick and easy way to clean them without getting them wet inside is to use something like one of the orange highway cones. Turn the boot upside down and place on the cone, or whatever, and then just spray them off. That way you can hit it with high pressure and not get water inside the boot.

That's cool, if you can't wash them don't worry they will be fine. I live in the South where winter means 50 degrees but I see your point.

Answer 3

it will be easier to wash them off first, let them dry, then store them......

Answer 4

Nah it won't hurt.

Hah mine are muddy 24/7 and I've had them for years and they're still fine.

They're meant to be muddy and stuff, they're motocross boots...

Answer 5

They will be fine, but Im not sure about storing them in a garbage bag.

The mud still needs to dry on. If moisture staying in the bag (and on the boots) then they will start to mold.

Let them air out somewhere.

Then when the dirt dries slam them up against something and the mud will fall off in pieces.

Answer 6

Wash them in the shower with hot water?..... Just a thought.
