In the vast expanse of Western footwear, cowboy boots are more than just a style statement – they're a testament to craftsmanship and tradition. Preserving the allure of these boots requires a meticulous approach to leather care. Beyond the routine dirt removal, the journey involves understanding the nuances of different leathers and employing the right products. At the forefront of this care regimen stands Bickmore, a family owned brand that mirrors our values, commitment to quality, and longevity.

First and foremost, if you want your boots to last - you need to clean them. Don’t let the dirt, grime, and sh*t destroy these works of art by leaving them dirty. To clean them properly, ensure your cowboy boots are free from any dirt and debris. Use a dry, clean cotton rag for this preliminary cleaning, and if needed, introduce a dampened rag for more stubborn dirt. For suede boots, never use water, just use a gentle brush can help loosen the dirt and debris and maintain the texture of the material.

Before we break it down into specific leather care, it's crucial to comprehend the diverse nature of cowboy boots. Each pair is a blend of tradition and modernity, often featuring intricate stitching patterns and exotic leathers. Recognizing these elements lays the foundation for a care routine that not only maintains aesthetics but also extends the life of your beloved boots.

Cowboy boots come in various leathers, each with its unique characteristics. From the rugged charm of roughout leather to the timeless appeal of cowhide or bullhide, and the exotic allure of ostrich or caiman leather – each demands a specialized care routine.

Central to this care narrative is Bickmore, a brand synonymous with leather preservation. Their commitment to quality aligns seamlessly with our values. Explore the history behind Bickmore, and you'll discover a legacy rooted in preserving and enhancing the beauty of leather. As you know, we’re suckers for a quality product with an even better story around here, so highlighting Bickmore’s Leather Conditioner as a trusted product we would put on our boots, was an easy decision.

For “roughout” or suede leather, a careful approach is essential. Use a dry white cotton towel for cleaning, being mindful of potential color transfer from the rag to the boot. A horsehair brush can then be used to gently remove any remaining debris. Should you opt for a water repellent spray, consider its impact on the color, especially with light-colored leather.

Cowhide or bullhide leather necessitates a conditioning routine. After cleaning, use a dime-sized amount of leather conditioner applied with a white rag, making sure you have a light even coverage over the entire boot. Allow the boots to dry overnight before considering additional treatments like creams or finishes.

Exotic leathers like ostrich or caiman deserve a delicate touch. An exotic leather conditioner, applied sparingly on the exotic vamp, is recommended. Use the same method for cleaning and conditioning as previously mentioned. For the top part of the boot, a generic leather conditioner is suitable. As with other leathers, a drying period overnight is crucial before any further applications.

As we embrace the heritage of cowboy boots, Bickmore stands as a trustworth ally in the journey of leather care. With a product line crafted for excellence, Bickmore not only understands the intricate needs of different leathers but also amplifies the natural beauty of each pair. Their commitment to preserving the legacy of leather aligns seamlessly with our dedication to quality and longevity.
