Tall Boot Help?

Question

I just got tall boots and i was wondering, is it ok the get a little mud or a little bit of shavings on them or get them a little wet or a little soapy as long as I use a wet wash cloth to clean them off afterword and then dry them with a dry washcloth?

Answer 1

Yes its fine. just clean them after! keep them as dry as poss but dont not use them!

if you happen the get them soaking wet eg: fall into a cross country water jump. dry them upside dwn and pack them/stuff them with news paper that way they wont warp or loss there shape.

keep them in a boot bag if you have one to prevent moisture getting to them - or an old pillow case does the trick!

i have a very expensive pair i only use only at comps and they are always packed unless im in them! - they keep there shape that way.

dont forget to oil them - but not to much otherwise they become to soft. keeping them oiled will help keep them fairly waterproof also!

good luck happy riding!

Answer 2

Yes it is fine to go ahead and get them a bit muddy, wet ect. I did with mine except a little advice dont get them wet inside they take forever to dry an accurate of 3days of hot sunny weather Minimum lol

Answer 3

yes.. it is perfectly fine... saddles, boots, and bridles are made with a type of leather that is built to withstand water and mud... just clean it when you are done using it!

happy riding!

Answer 4

yep

they're just boots

ok, expensive boots

Answer 5

I would not wear them around the barn.  Save them for shows since they are so expensive and get a pair of paddock boots for around the barn.  But if you do want to wear them just wipe them off after and they will be fine.

Answer 6

as long as they don't soak in it for long periods of time, it shouldn't be a problem. you could also get rubber covers for the actual foot part of them to keep them from being muddy.

Answer 7

It sounds as if you are wearing your tall boots around the barn. I would not do that. My leather paddock boots are messed up from getting wet, muddy, etc. so I am assuming the same can happen to tall boots (duhh). Get a pair of paddock boots you don't care about to wear around the barn and try to save the tall boots for showing, I know how expensie they can be!
