Used my new Novogar boots for the first time yesterday.
Now time to clean them.
Suggetions on the best product welcome, commercial or "grannies".
Cleaning boots
Moderator: Moderators
Once you clean the boots with a rinse off while washing your bike, I would hit them with Dubbin once they are dry and then leave them out in the sun , so the Dubbin soaks in, once you've done the dubbin acts as a waterproofing agent, well it won't make them totally waterproof if you stand in the river but it helps them.

Don't use a high pressure washer on boots.
I work for the Alpinestar importers & I've seen people stuff boots by doing this. (All been MX boots so far, no Trials boots).
I've always just wet my boots & then used a brush to remove any lumps that don't wash off.
I normally let them dry in the shade & then apply a bee's wax polish.
Dubbin & Coachaline is good to. Rub it hard into any stitching as it will seal up the holes into your boots. Most boots have stitched mid soles & thats where most water gets in if your walk through creeks etc.
