this might be a stupid question but i was just wondering how offroad riders manage to keep their boots so clean?!

i've hosed mine down but have never really cleaned mine properly, that may be the reason for mine being so dirty. but do most of you actually go at them with a brush and soapy water?

also does anyone know how to dry them out as mine stay wet for atleast a week despite all my efforts to try and get them dry! Rolling Eyes

i was just interested thats all! Thumbs Up

I use Muk off or Fairy Liquid and a hard brush, the pressure washer is broke this now but the scrubbing does the job. Reminds me my boots are bogging ill need to wash em.

Pressure washer. Thumbs Up

Drying them out, either just let them stand inside for a while or you can also stuff old newspaper to help them dry faster.

Be careful if using a de-greasing type of cleaner like Muc-off as it dries out the leather and it can crack - especially around rivets, buckles etc.

Best to use warm soapy water (not with washing up liquid - it's a de-greaser), or a leather cleaning spray instead.
