Lengthen the life of your boots and improve their appearance by following these easy steps:

Wipe off dust because it will settle in the creases of boots and shoes. WIPE YOUR BOOTS OFTEN, using, preferably, a horse-hair brush. Wipe off loose dirt and after that, clean your boots. You can use Southern Leather Cadillac Boot Lotion to get rid of deep down dirt and grime. You don’t have to do this every time, just when they are dirty. Some leathers will need more than others. It needs to be done more often in dry climates or when leather is subjected to repeated dryings. Apply a coat of shoe cream (polish) and we recommend Southern Leather Boot Cream. It should match the color of the boot and should be rubbed into boots. Give the cream a few moments to dry and then brush or buff the boots to a shine. Use an old soft t-shirt or horse hair brush.


Good Practice and Extra Measure for the Conscientious:

Never put wet boots near heat to dry. Stuff boots with newspaper and let them air-dry. Never, ever wear your boots after they get wet - take them off and let them air-dry.
Unless you sit at a desk in an air-conditioned office, never wear the same pair of boots every day. They need to rest and air out. Keep dressing on the welts, if you have dyed welts and use conditioner if you have natural welts. Best of all, use boot trees! We cannot recommend them enough – good cedar boot trees.

Resoling & Repairs:

It is normal to replace the soles of your boots if you are especially hard on footwear. Some people have to replace the soles every year, others, only after years of wear. Try not to wait so long as to need a full resole, opt for the half resole. For those that are really hard on their feet or needing the extra traction, consider adding a rubber Vibram overlay on the sole - extends the life of the sole and saves you money in the long run without the need to resole as often. We can have this done for you. Don't do this if you are dancing in your boots everyday - those spins will be hard on the knees!

Remember, your new boots are an investment and the above care should give you many, many years of use, comfort and style points with your boots. If you mistreat your boots, we cannot guarantee that they will last for a reasonable time. Never let the rubber on the heels wear down to the leather. Get the rubber replaced BEFORE that happens. We cannot be responsible if you get your boots wet and continue to wear them - the soles can split from this type of abuse. If you do not condition the skins, they can split at stress points because they dry out. Just take good care of them and they will be around for a long time. If you have questions about boot repairs, contact us and we can take care of this for a nominal charge (we charge what the boot repair actually costs). It is best if you call us before you take your boots to be repaired. 512-326-8577. Some customers have had their boots damaged by taking them to the wrong repair shop.

Understated, Bulletproof Every-Day Boots of the Highest Quality

As expected, these are fantastic boots. I've never owned oil tanned leather boots or shoes before, but it is soft and conforms to my foot nicely; feels like they are breaking in quickly. These are casual boots, well suited with jeans or more informal pants, made to take a beating, per Kimber, one of the cool owners of this company. I wear mine for work, because I've been beating the daylights out of my old style brown sharks (getting resoled for the 4th time right now - best boots of all time). I needed to take some wear off of the sharks, and the French Toe and walking heel are all day comfortable without looking like Old Man, flat-foot ropers.

I wanted boots that were understated and suitable to walk in an industrial setting without looking fancy or fussy but looked nice. I tend toward less flamboyant cowboy boots and when it's cooler out, I wear them most every day. These are very handsome, understated, practical boots perfect everyday, for motorcycling, riding horses - whatever. Bulletproof and cool as hell. Dirt and griime wipes off easily, and scuffs blend in and lend character.

Super understated boots. The quality is what speaks loud and clear when you look at them. If you've never owned Heritage Boots, you won't buy from anyone else once you do. And the women who own this company are awesome - helpful, friendly and passionate about what they do.

Kimber... only one request... Make a Black Cherry Goat boot. Always wanted a boot named after me. ;-).

My favorite boots

These were the first pair of boots I bought at Heritage Boots about 15 years ago. I have bought 4 more pairs and this is the only brand I will ever buy. I used to wear 10 1/2 and as I aged, 75 now, my arches collapsed and I wear 12 1/2 in running shoes, however my boots still fit. The built in arch support in these boots raises my arch to its proper height and I am totally comfortable all day long. Every where I go people want to know what kind of leather and where did I get them. I don’t live in Austin anymore so I cannot easily get to the store anymore, however all of my boots are the same size and I feel comfortable ordering over the phone. My wife has stingray boots and they are attention getters.

Camel rough outs

Received the boots last night. Tried them on this morning and they felt great. I wore them to old people shuffleboard and won both games. No break in needed. Wear all day!! Nice young lady to deal with also.

Fit like a glove

I received my Clay Apache over the weekend and am very pleased with the styling and comfort of the Cuban heel. These are my first pair with this heel and they are great for walking in my opinion. I have several pairs of Heritage boots and look forward to breaking these bad boys in!
