Desert Boot Makeover

The old Timberland boots. Age-1 years
Condition- Heavily used
Diagnosis- wear and tear with major discoloration
Schedule- Leather condition and clean
Shoe cream *Dark Brown*
Horse Hair Buffer
Edge Heel applicator
Applicator- Old Shirt
Cost $8 ($4 shoe cream and $4 leather conditioner and cleaner) 




Step 1) Apply the Leather Conditioner & Cleaner first. Do a thorough cleaner of each boot and remove and thick dirt and grime such as gum or dirt.
Step 2) Open brand new Shoe Cream and stir with a back end of a pen or a fresh tooth pick.
Step 3) Carefully (if your watching out for the contrast stitching) apply the shoe cream with a daper brush (also available at ColeHaan.com for $3)
Step 4) Let shoe cream dry for about 5 minutes
Step 5) Take a dry cloth and begin to wipe away the remaining shoe cream from the boot (hardly any will come up)
Step 6) For a extra shine, take your horse hair brush and buff the heck out of the boot.
Step 7) Buy a new pair of jeans because your boots are going to need a fresh pair of pants to go with. Enjoy!

Viola!
