After a fun-filled winter holiday, your boots deserve a little care before being packed away. Whether it’s heavy-duty snow boots or stylish winter fashion boots, proper storage will help them last longer and stay fresh for your next adventure.
Here’s a quick guide from WinterBuddy to store your winter boots the right way:
1. Clean Your Boots First
Snow Boots:
-
Rinse off mud, salt, and slush with water.
-
Use a soft brush and mild soap to scrub soles and seams.
-
Let them air dry completely—avoid direct heat to prevent material damage.
Winter Fashion Boots:
-
Wipe down leather or suede gently with a damp cloth or leather cleaner.
-
For suede, use a soft brush and avoid water stains.
-
Let them air dry away from sunlight or heat.
👉 Never store boots while damp—they can grow mould or smell musty.
2. Deodorize & Dry
-
Sprinkle a bit of baking soda inside the boots or use natural deodorizers like tea bags or cedar sachets.
-
Keep boots in a ventilated area for a day or two to air out any odours or leftover moisture.
3. Choose the Right Storage
Snow Boots:
-
Store upright in a dry place. Use boot shapers or stuff with newspaper to maintain shape.
-
If short on space, store in breathable fabric bags—not airtight containers.
Winter Fashion Boots:
-
Use a boot tree or rolled towel inside to support the ankle and prevent creasing.
-
Wrap in dust bags or pillowcases—avoid plastic, which traps moisture.
4. Keep Them Cool, Dry & Away From Sunlight
-
Avoid humid places like basements or hot attics.
-
A closet shelf or under-bed container with airflow is ideal.
