Cleaning the Outside of your Hiking Boots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, remove the laces and footbeds to access all areas of the boots. Use a shoe brush to gently remove dust and dirt. For stubborn dirt, brush the boots under warm running water. Avoid using soap, as it can damage the leather and waterproofing. Never put your hiking boots in the washing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> For extremely dirty boots, consider using a special leather cleaner, but only if necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cribgochoutdoor.com\/hanwag\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-buerste-1440x2160-1-683x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-buerste-1440x2160-1-683x1024.webp 683w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-buerste-1440x2160-1-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-buerste-1440x2160-1-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-buerste-1440x2160-1-1024x1536.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-buerste-1440x2160-1-1365x2048.webp 1365w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-buerste-1440x2160-1.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cribgochoutdoor.com\/hanwag\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-innen-1440x2160-1-683x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-innen-1440x2160-1-683x1024.webp 683w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-innen-1440x2160-1-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-innen-1440x2160-1-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-innen-1440x2160-1-1024x1536.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-innen-1440x2160-1-1365x2048.webp 1365w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-reinigen-innen-1440x2160-1.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cleaning the Inside of your Hiking Boots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dirt and debris can also accumulate inside your boots, especially in bad weather. Remove the footbeds and shake them out. Clean the inside of the boots with lukewarm water and a sponge. Avoid using a brush as it can damage the inner lining. Fabric footbeds can be washed at 30\u00b0C, preferably by hand. For leather footbeds, use a damp sponge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Use a shoe hygiene spray if your boots still smell after cleaning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Drying Your Boots Properly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After cleaning, it&#8217;s essential to dry your boots thoroughly. Place them in a well-aired, shady spot with the tongues wide open. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources like radiators or fires, as they can damage the leather. Stuff the boots with kitchen roll (not newspaper) to speed up the drying process, changing the paper regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Applying Waterproofing Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cribgochoutdoor.com\/hanwag\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-impraegnieren-1440x960-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-impraegnieren-1440x960-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-impraegnieren-1440x960-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-impraegnieren-1440x960-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-impraegnieren-1440x960-1-270x180.webp 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-impraegnieren-1440x960-1-770x515.webp 770w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-impraegnieren-1440x960-1.webp 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular re-waterproofing is essential, especially after cleaning or exposure to wet conditions. This prevents a film of water from forming on the boots, which can reduce breathability. Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cribgochoutdoor.com\/footwear-accessories\/proofing-repairs\/hanwag-waterproofing-spray-boot-and-shoe-care__1427\" title=\"\">Hanwag Waterproofing Spray<\/a> according to the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. Spray from a distance of about 30 cm and ensure even coverage, including hard-to-reach areas around the tongue. Allow 24 hours for the treatment to set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> This applies to both leather and Gore-Tex boots. Fabric inserts also benefit from waterproofing to maintain breathability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cribgochoutdoor.com\/hanwag\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-wachsen-leder-2880x1920-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-wachsen-leder-2880x1920-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-wachsen-leder-2880x1920-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-wachsen-leder-2880x1920-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-wachsen-leder-2880x1920-1-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-wachsen-leder-2880x1920-1-270x180.webp 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/crgh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/06\/wanderschuhe-wachsen-leder-2880x1920-1-770x515.webp 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If the leather is dry and brittle like this, then it\u2019s time for some hiking boot wax care.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

This maintains breathability and prevents dirt buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storing Your Hiking Boots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Proper storage is key to prolonging the life of your boots.
