Hi All,

Does anyone have any ideas on how to clean a pair of canvas/rubber boots without ruining them? Have a pair of Ridge Scorpion Boots which are the most comfortable set of footwear I have ever had, (including slippers!). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Probably a stiff bristle brush and some mild soap and water would be the best. Let them dry and you should be set.

Howdy.

Try the gentle tip on your pressure washer and operate gently. After they dry, use a proper preservative for the material. I've cleaned and restored $120.00 work boots that I thought were a smelly lost cause and gotten months more service out of them. It's an extreme method but it can work. OzarksJohn

If the leather part is real leather then saddle soap is
the way to go if not, just have it!

Thanks for the replies!

MadTripper: I'll give that a try.

OzarksJohn: Sounds good, but no pressure washer.

Buck: No leather in them - just canvas with rubber toe. Here's a photo. (Not very good)
