Description
Designed for harsh-weather footwear, this workshop tackles salt stains, water exposure, and abrasion. You will learn to neutralize salt with controlled dilution and blotting, then recondition dried fibers. We cover seam and welt care where salt often accumulates unnoticed. A leather-specific rehydration routine restores suppleness after winter cycles. For suede and nubuck, we show safe de-salting and nap recovery without glazing the surface. You will create a pre-season protection plan and a post-storm rescue protocol. We include an outsole and midsole cleaning segment to prevent wicking grime into uppers. A boot tree and stuffing guide helps maintain shape while drying. We compare shield coatings vs. breathable protectors for different climates. By completion, you can keep boots looking respectable through winter and recover them in spring.
