Many distressed-style leather boot owners are apprehensive about using leather dressings because they can contain dyes. Protective products that contain dyes have the potential to ruin or significantly alter the patina in distressed-style leather boots. Cleaning and protecting distressed-style leather boots must therefore only be possible with water and perhaps a little soap. Boot Guard® gives distressed-boot owners another option.
Boot Guard® will not destroy or impair the dyed-in patina in distressed-style leather boots. While Boot Guard® will repair boots that have been distressed through wear-and-tear, boots intentionally distressed as a fashion style will not be harmed. Boot Guard® cleans, conditions and waterproofs the leather while preserving the original patina.
