Christian Louboutin Robot Black Ankle Boots

Got a pair of hot & shiny ladie’s black ankle boots you can’t bear to go with out? Cleaning on a regular basis will increase the life span of you boots. Prevent unnecessary wear and tear by following a couple of these care tips:

To maintain the soft-supple texture of your leather ankle boot, you can apply a little castor oil on the entire boot and leave to dry. This not only moisturizes you boots, which is needed to keep from cracking, but it also waterproofs and preserves the leather. The less water absorbed by leather the longer it will last. This can be used in addition to using protective sprays. For brown leather, some have used scratch polish intended for used on wooden furniture.

For suede material, a nice quick brush never fails to renew the look of suede shoes. While brushes made specifically for suede shoes are available an old toothbrush also gets the job done. You want to be careful in brushing your suede ankle boots though as it tends to destroy the top layer of the material. Alternatively you can use masking tape to remove dirt that you boots may have collected.

To keep the sheen on those black patent ankle boots, you can rub some petroleum jelly which works best when left to soak for a while. After a nice long soak, buff your boots with soft cloth to bring back the shine. For a quick clean use plain soap, luke warm water, and damp cloth and then buff the leather with soft cloth after drying.

Fine sandpaper has been know to work wonders in maintaining the look of boots made of nubuck. Water repellent is always advisable when trying to weatherproof your boots so consider doing the same with this type of material.

Aside from the material specific care tips, you may also want to implement other shoe care tips like using shoe trees that maintains the original shape of you black ankle boots. Keep your boots away from direct heat or sunlight as this tends to dry up leather which can lead to cracking. If your ankle boots get wet avoid drying them near a heater or dryer, air dry them as soon as possible in room temperature. The classy styles of many black ankle boots are timeless and tend to be in vogue for many years. If taken cared of properly you can enjoy your chic black ankle boots for many more seasons to come.
