White spots on leather boots?

I was recently wearing my leather boots during several rainy days, and they got covered by some white spots (the right boot, especially). I looks as if I draw with chalk all over it. I tried to wash them, of course, but it just didn%26#039;t go away and maybe got even worse. Has anyone had to deal with this before and knows what might work to get them back to normal (their black color)?


Thanks!

Spilled paint on leather boots?

My sister accidently spilled silver paint on a pair of my blue leather boots and I don%26#039;t want to ruin the boots, but I don%26#039;t know how to get the paint off. Any advice?

Spilled paint on leather boots?
I clean contents from fire damages and furniture polish( pledge ) will clean up alot of things on leather and it doesn%26#039;t hurt it either. Try spraying on the clean towel your cleaning the boot with 1st, make the towel wet with the pledge and rub a small spot at a time. you can spray it onto the boot also, if it does not start to fade or came off after at least 2 good tries , then its not working. good luck
Reply:Get mink oil. It might get most of it out.
Reply:Well...silver and blue are really good together...so maybe splatter paint your boots! Or if your not that artistic in clothing...maybe bring your boots to a shoe person!

As your avatar suggst you are female this may not apply to you - BUT if you spot fine white %26quot;powdery marks%26quot; on a mans shoes, it can tell you two things about him.





1. He is not a very good aim when urinating.


2. He has diabetes.





The reason is that the sugar present in the urine remains on the shoes after the liquid has evaporated. The sugar crystals stand out quite well on black shoes.
Reply:Get some black shoe polish. Use it on them with a soft cloth, then buff it off with a shoe brush.

Will fine leather boots be ruined by wearing them in the rain?
YES. What you can do is go to Wilson%26#039;s Leather and get a can of their Leather and Suede protector (its about $10 and you can use it on any leather or suede) and liberally spray it on your boots outside. Wait a few hours before wearing them. If you do not treat your boots (or any leather for that matter) and wear them in the rain, you will ruin your boots with discoloration, color running, spots, and other problems that cannot be fixed.
Reply:You can buy stuff to spray them with that will protect them and make them water resistent
Reply:It depends on where you are. With the storm we%26#039;re getting in Iowa right now, yes. Rain would ruin your boots, spray protector or not.

Are black leather boots a good substitute for hi heels?

My best friend is getting married and wants me to wear hi heels. I never wear high heels. It is just not my character. Can I substitute Black leather boots. I found a pair I really like. My friend set up an account at this store so I can pretty much get whatever I want.

Are black leather boots a good substitute for hi heels?
EVERY question you ask is an almost complete No-brainer.





At least you%26#039;re not putting your future children at a disadvantage with this one.





It is your FRIEND%26#039;S wedding. If she wants you to wear swimfins you should. Its not about YOUR %26quot;character%26quot;, such as it is, its about your friend%26#039;s wedding and her wishes.





Sheesh, now go have a few drinks and ride your scooter to the shoe store.
Reply:It depends on the style of the boot, and the dress of the wedding, unless its casual or semi casual, I wouldnt reccomend it. Also not if you are wearing a dress.
Reply:If your in the wedding, you have to honor her wishes and wear high heels lol. After all, in your wedding you would want everything %26quot;perfect%26quot; right? It%26#039;s just for a wedding and you never have to wear high heels afterwards ever again lol. I still cannot I.M. you or e-mail you privately by the way lol. But you are on my friends list. Hope this answer helped. Jeremy
Reply:Most people don%26#039;t want you wearing black to a wedding; it%26#039;s supposed to be a celebration. If it%26#039;s your best friend, I would respect her wishes on her day.
Reply:no maybe you should get maroon boots with a little heel [leather]


or you can wear wedges which are more comfortable ans easier to walk in than heelss :)

Your thoughts on imiation leather boots?

Just the other day I%26#039;ve gotten my mother a pair of knee length imitation leather boots for only $35 at Sears as a Christmas present and they were half off! They are very stylish and they also appear to be very comfortable to wear.





What are your thoughts of knee length imitation leather boots? I really hope my mother will like it and I really wanted her to have something nice to wear.

Leather peeling off the toe of my boots?

I have a pair of leather boots with a 1%26quot; stacked front, and bits of the leather on part of the toe of one side is cracked and peeling off, revealing a rougher black material. I think it could have been because I kicked a rough surface while walking. They%26#039;re black leather and very smooth and supple, I don%26#039;t know what type exactly, but they%26#039;re made by Costume National if that%26#039;s any help. Is there any way I can fix this?

How to make leather boots fit me better?

i just bought a new pair of steve madden leather boots (i%26#039;m not sure if they are real leather because it says that it is man made material) and they go up to almost my knees. They fit my feet fine but they are kinda wrinkled near my ankles and calves, they are also kinda loose where as i think they should fit snug..i%26#039;m asian so i%26#039;m kinda petite and i think thats why they dont fit around my legs right. is there anything i can do to get rid of the crease and wrinkles and also is there a way to shrink it to make it fit my legs better? i reallly loved these boots and i want them to fit right. thanks! =)

How to make leather boots fit me better?
same problem here and I hate it. I%26#039;m tall though. Either you should look for boots that are stretch synthetic or leather boots with a zipper. Also you just have to try on a lot of boots to find the ones that fit right and I mean a lot. I found some jessica simpson boots and steve madden boots that fit me perfectly.


The other way is to take them to a shoe smith. I%26#039;m about to take my whiskey coach boots to one so he can put in a zipper and make them fitted around the ankle. Saggy ankles are not sexy.
Reply:i have also heard that boots will fit when wet - it just depends on if the material is safe to get wet. my brother uses this technique on his leather work boots. he puts them on and walks around in the tub with them on. im just not so sure about your type of boot tho. if u do try it, made sure u treat it with something (like a leather cream) to keep it protected an moist so it doesnt crack. good luck!
Reply:not sure i%26#039;d try it myself but i know leather shrinks when wet so if it isn%26#039;t a suede type of thing i%26#039;d wet them and wear them until dry. that way they shape to your legs perfectly.... see what others say about this...

Grease off leather boots?

I have some light soft leather cowboy boots which now have dark stains on after I lent them out. It looks like grease and I have tried wash liquid, orange kitchen stuff but though overall the boots come up well the stains are still there

Grease off leather boots?
Make a paste of dish detergent and baking soda. Put it over the stain and let it set for a couple hours. Scrub gently with a toothbrush and rinse. If it%26#039;s grease, this should work.
Reply:the first thing you should have tried is dawn dish liquid the blue with oxy power and a soft tooth brush and scrub in small circles i had a little to my husbands work clothes or apply directly to the spot and let sit then wash usually comes right out





shhh. don%26#039;t tell him ok
Reply:Saddle soap might help, but it sounds like the oil in in the leather, which is why it is still stained. You might be able to use rubbing alcohol to help lift the oil out, but make sure and apply clean mink oil back in so the boots survive the cleaning.
Reply:Acetone. Put it on a rag, wipe it on, then, wipe it off. Get a good shoe polish (if this is finished leather and not rough), and rub it in good.

Re: Women's Leather Boots?

Every year I want to buy long leather boots but despite not having fat legs I have big calves and so can never do up the last 2 inches of the zip on standard boots. Is there any way to stretch the leather to make them fit? I don%26#039;t want to buy the ones that have elastic at the top - I think they look horrible. Thanks

Re: Women%26#039;s Leather Boots?
You could also try looping a shoelace through the zip and pulling on that - you can exert a lot more pressure and will probably find that most boots will do up that way.
Reply:try matalan
Reply:yes i have the same problem the amount off boots i have try ed on only to get so far and the zip wont go anymore





OK first if you do find a pair that you can just about get up get them and when you are home and no ones looking you will get them up i do trust me


second have you tried a pair the next size up and wear thick socks that works as well but look for a brand called ecco


they are very nice boots and will give that little bit with a bit off pulling you can get them from marks and bhs and they are about £50 hope that helps

1st time owner of a leather bag & leather boots - any care needed? Are they waterproof?

Hi guys, I recently went on a leather purchasing frenzy on ebay and now own a brand new leather tote (RRP$189) and a pair of vintage leather boots.





I%26#039;ve never had any leather products before, so was quite surprised when I did a google search and suddenly there seems like heaps I need to do to care for them.





Is that really neccessary? If so, what should I do to upkeep my purchases (I need solutions that are cheap and convenient)? If I did nothing and just used them like I would any other accessory, what could happen to them?





I just read that leather can%26#039;t be wet! So what happens if I get caught in the rain one day (which is bound to happen eventually)? Seems silly to pay so much for shoes that can%26#039;t get wet wherelse water just slides off cheaper materials.





Also, (sorry, I know I%26#039;m asking heaps but I just saved up for quite a while to buy these) I was under the (naive?) impression that leather lasts forever. Is that right? Or can leather tear just like any other material?





Thanks!

1st time owner of a leather bag %26amp; leather boots - any care needed? Are they waterproof?
Leather is great, and it does last forever.


Bermans leather has a very good conditioner that is also waterproof. You do need to use some of that because if you do get them wet they will leave water stains, then it will look darker and lighter in different spots.


It%26#039;s not something that has to be done all the time though. I did my boots and purse years ago and they are still like new, it works.


Whats great about leather is the older is is the better it looks as long as it%26#039;s not all stained. The conditioner keeps it soft too.
Reply:there are sprays you can buy in stored like COACH and shoe stores that will take care of your leather. leather DOES last a long time..........IF you take care of it. Buena suerte!
Reply:If it is real leather keep on hand polish that matches the color and saddle soap to follow. Polish helps keep the color if it fades or wear (the craking and creases) Saddle soap cleans and shines and helps to water proof the leather. Have a good one.
Reply:It lasts as long as you care for it. Go to a local convenience store (Wal-Mart works well) and buy leather treatment and waterproofer. It is water proof to a certain extent but i would not submerge it. If you do not care for you leather and keep it %26quot;lubed%26quot; up it will dry and crack.
Reply:ur question was a little big .. its absolutely correct that leather product need to be cared a liitle .... i can say the very easy and simplest thing to care for it .....just clean ur bag and shoes when u use and put in pure cotton cloth and try to wrap it so that air coulnt pass inside it ....and put in place where air hardly goes like ur wardrobe or cupboard but avoid keeping very dark or chances where water or MOISTURE exist ...then ur bag and shoes will long lasting
Reply:there are lotions that you use to condition the leather to keep it soft and pliable and more important is the silicone spray that protects the outside from water marks. read up and take care of the garments and they should last a long time,but definitely protect them
Reply:Saddle soap right away %26amp; then every 3 month or when needed like an oil change for for car.

Are leather boots necessarily more comfortable than faux ones ?

Who are the ones wearing leather boots and faux boots ?


I really have no idea.

Are leather boots necessarily more comfortable than faux ones ?
Leather feels and wears better. You will also develop fungal problems if you wear fake leather shoes for any length of time. Any type of shoe should be worn no more than every second day.
Reply:All of my real leather boots and shoes are way more comfortable than my fake ones. They eventually give with your feet and they last a lot longer. The only thing is that they are expensive compared to the faux pairs. What you can do is buy some shoe inserts like the gel kind or something with a lot of cushion and put them in your faux boots to make them more comfortable.
Reply:I think each boot needs to be considered - some are just more comfortable - leather or faux leather. But in general, I have found that real leather is more comfortable (breathes better and moves/stretches to fit your feet better). I also think the faux leather ones create foot odor, so that is something I ALWAYS take into consideration....how long will I wear these at a given time. If it is for a while - i go for the real leather. If it is a style that I know I will only wear occasionally for a short period during the day - I won%26#039;t spend the cash.
Reply:Not really. I can%26#039;t tell the difference.
Reply:leather is way more comfortable
Reply:There are some materials used to make boots and shoes that are inflexible and don%26#039;t allow for the escape of moisture, so that they not only are never %26quot;broken in%26quot;, they allow one%26#039;s feet to remain constantly damp, which in turn predisposes to fungal infestation. Leather boots and shoes will %26quot;mold%26quot; to the wearer%26#039;s foot over time and be far more comfortable when that happens - they are %26quot;broken in%26quot;. Leather also %26quot;breathes%26quot; in that it allows for moisture to escape.
Reply:it doesnt really matter if they are real or fake when it comes to comfort. leather sometimes tends to become tighter when wearing, so that might come into play.





usually, leather lasts longer and looks better than faux leather, and is usually more expensive. as long as you keep your boots in nice shape, you will get longer wear and comfort out of them, real or faux
Reply:Anything other than leather makes my feet sweat. I also like that leather forms a little bit to my feet, I find them so much more comfortable. It maybe different for someone else.
Reply:I don%26#039;t think there is a difference.

What did work was good , old vegetable oil. You probalby have it in your cabinet at home.





Any oil will repel water. Just use it around the seams of the boot.





Good Luck

Their product is also branded and sold for browning, carolina, and redwing boot makers.

Altering width of synthetic leather boots?

I bought a pair of knee high leather boots second hand - however they are too wide a fit in the leg - although I love the style. The base of the boot, around the foot is leather, but the section around the leg is a synthetic leather. I have checked in a few shoe repair shops and they say they could alter them, but the stitching would rip, as they%26#039;re synthetic and they don%26#039;t have the right machine to sew them. Does anyone know of anywhere in London where you can have repairs done to synthetic leather?

Do Black leather boots match a neutral leather purse?

One of my friends got drunk and passed out on my couch. I found her this morning and boy was I mad. I kicked her out but she left her purse behind. I was wondering if a neutral leather purse would go with the black leather boots I recently got for a friends weding. Maybe tips on how to find better friends would be helpful too.

Do Black leather boots match a neutral leather purse?
neutral purse does go with black boots
Reply:no, for it to match you would need a black purse. Give the purse back and let the good karma flow once again. Keeping it would be tacky and petty.





Also, if you had to find her I must ask, why did you go to bed before all your guests left? I would be looking at the situation like this, Thank goodness she slept here rather than getting behind a wheel in her condition and possibly killing someone, if not herself.

since they%26#039;re imports you should take them to a reputable shoe service near you - if you try %26#039;home remedies%26#039; the leather may look stretched or worn and since they%26#039;re new and brought a long way you don%26#039;t want to ruin them .. the shoe service %26#039;may%26#039; be able to adjust the width near the zipper for a little more %26#039;give%26#039; to fit your calves.
Reply:I have the same problem with finding boots that fit. I took my pair to our local shoe repair man. He was able to stretch them with out makeing them look like nothing had been done to them.


This will all depend on the shoes. If they are good ones they should be fixable.
Reply:Buy one of those wooden blocks you can adjust and readjust to stretch out shoe leather.


Can be bought at Target and Walmart.

Looking for non leather boots?

I brought a pair of Kenneth Cole Reaction boots at a consignment shop, I love these boots. But I need to replace them, and I cannot find anything like them.





They are non leather, no zipper, knee length, and have a mid size heal. I%26#039;ve looked everywhere and nothing even comes close to looking like the boots I have. Im not sure what material it is but I can tell you what its not. Its not leather, or suede.





Can anyone help, thanks in advance

I would try EBAY. You find something similar if you cannot find the exact boots.


Good luck.

Maybe. I have seen ads for repairing leather furniture. The method must be the same.

Is faux leather boots good enough compared to leather boots?

hello. i just bought a pair of book without realizing that the material was made by faux leather. It wan%26#039;t cheap; that is why i assumed it is defenitely made out of leather. I don%26#039;t know much about boots...I would appreciate if you can tell me

Is faux leather boots good enough compared to leather boots?
I think you might have to be a little more careful with the faux leather, it my not hold up as well under harsh conditions (scuffing, catching a rough object, ect). I had one pair of faux leather and the vinyl started peeling from age %26amp; poor storage. For regular wearing and stored properly in your closet and they would probably hold up quite well. The fuax leather can look just as good as the real leather and feel great too. I have one pair of leather like boots that look fantastic and feel so great to wear. Very comfy even with the high heel. They just sort of mold to your foot and leg. Very nice. I think I still prefer real leather best but some of faux leather ones, they%26#039;re pretty nice!

Reply:Considering an animal%26#039;s life was spared,.. I think the choice is the right one! They look and feel about the same,.. so please keep up with environment friendly purchases. Best of luck to you,.. and your will power!~
Reply:Faux leather is plastic that made from petroleum products and will end up in a landfill site or dumped in the ocean.


Real leather can be composted back into the soil..


Plastic will stand up to water better, leather will last longer, look and feel better over time
Reply:if its real fur on the boots then i would definitely not go for the fur boots but maybe some that do not have animal fur but fake fur boots maybe at payless or something??? i just wouldn%26#039;t kill such a innocent animal but thats my opinoin do what u think is right!!

Leather boots that won't zip up?

Does anyone else have the problem that leather boots wont zip up all the way? Not just leather ones but any that are higher than the ankle? My friend works in a shoe shop and she said about 50% of people have this problem (me included) I%26#039;d really like to be able to wear boots in the colder weather but I am yet to find some that zip up, does anyone know of any stores/brands that fit? (I%26#039;m in Australia) Do other people have this problem?

Leather boots that won%26#039;t zip up?
i guess the person who first answered didn%26#039;t realize your in australia and you%26#039;re already in the cold season because it is hot as hell in America...have you tried Aldo Shoes or aldoshoes.com??? I have the same problem as well and always find it easy to find leather boots that just slips in without the zipper. It%26#039;s usually the leather and suede material boots that comes in as a slip in boot.
Reply:If you go onto places like www.zappos.com, they give the exact measurement of the boot shaft, so you know if it will zip around your calf. They actually have a category of boots with a wider shaft.





I actually think boot shafts have gotten narrower in the past few years. My best friend is model-thin, with itty bitty calves, and it used to be she could not even hold up a knee high boot. Now, she either fills out the boot, or can%26#039;t get it to zip.





Google %26quot;plus size boots%26quot; You%26#039;ll find some stretch ones; I found a great leather pair with a gusset (a stretchy leather insert on the inside of the calf) at www.avenue.com.





Good luck and happy shopping. (p.s. it might be better to put this off until the fall, when all the newest, latest and greatest will be back in stock)

How to store leather boots?
The main thing to care for leather boots is to keep the dirt off of them. Clean them with saddle soap when you get home in the evening. The mold will not be a problem if you powder you feet before you wear them. To prevent pests from getting onto or into your boots hang them from a peg. You can also make a small pouch from an old sock and put some mothballs inside then tie it to the outside of your boots, never inside or your boots will smell like mothballs. All pests hate mothballs, even rodents. The saddle soap contains everything your leather needs. Don%26#039;t waste your money on other products.
Reply:I store my leather boots on a shelf in the garage. They do just fine there year round.





If you are concerned about rodents and pest, that is a different subject and you should exterminate them.
Reply:Perhaps they would be best stored in a cool place (shed etc.) as fungus cannot grow in the cold and mice do not like the cold so i think your new boots would be pretty safe. Alternatively just never put them down!!!
Reply:I would use gold bond powder in the shoes after each use. It can be found in any drug store or walmart. Make sure you let the shoes air out be for you store them so excess moisture can evaporate. The powder will help eliminate fungus and Oder, use a little mink oil or Polish on the exterior leather to keep it in good shape.

How to store leather boots?
I just put mine in the closet with an old sock in each shoe containing two charcoal briquettes. The charcoal absorbs the excess moisture and any odors which will prevent mold and bacteria from forming. Another alternative is to put about 1/4 cup baking soda into each shoe as it will do the same thing. Just dump it out before you put them on. Avoid foot powders as they are ground so fine that they actually plug the pores of the shoe which will prevent your feet from breathing and will only make the moisture problem much worse. The baking soda will not clog the pores of your shoes. As for mice and cockroaches, you have to treat that problem by spray ing your baseboards, entrances and outside window sills with and insecticide such as Spectracide and put down mouse traps. Roaches can get into the smallest places and mice and rats can chew through brick so unless you are putting them into a lead lined, hermetically sealed box, they are not going to be safe.
Reply:added to Chrono Sage%26#039;s answer. if it is wet wrap them with news paper for a while untill you feel it has absorbed it moist. put camphor powder or any sort you can find. stuff news paper inside the shoe and store it...
Reply:store it away from diract sunlight for its very harmful to Leathers

First of all, if they get really wet, try to dry them as well as you can. Try to store your boots in a room temperature place. Bacteria and fungus need moisture and heat to grow. So try to keep them as dry as you can. Good Luck!

Ideas on restoring leather boots @ home? Salt stains are eating away at the toes and heels!?

I live in a very very snowy area and even though I haven%26#039;t worn my (very expensive) leather boots on too many slushy days, they have been affected by the salt on the streets. They are black boots which ended up being salt stained white all along the bottom edge after just a couple of wears. I used a little bit of vinegar to remove the stain and then I used some Vaseline to polish them, but it seems as though the salt actually CORRODED the leather in a few places. The leather was once soft and supple and now it%26#039;s grainy and looks almost like it%26#039;s been melted away and the black colour looks faded in those areas. Is there any way to restore these boots to make them look good as new again? They are a soft, purse-like leather.

Ideas on restoring leather boots @ home? Salt stains are eating away at the toes and heels!?
saddle soap it%26#039;s used to clean leather and it will protect and soften it. You may have to use a paste wax to polish them afterwards but it is worth the extra effort , and it will protect them from the salt,if you really like the boots. I find saddle soap in shoe stores here.
Reply:Use Vaseline!

Dying leather boots?

I want to buy a new pair of horseback riding tall boots, and i found a pair on ebay that are my size. The problem is, they are brown, and i need to have black boots for showing. I was wondering if it is easy to dye leather, becuase it would save me a lot of money if i did. What do you have to do to prepare them, and what are the steps to dying leather. Also, where can i buy leather dye?


Is dying leather only for restoring small areas with scratches and scuffs to their natural color, or can you change the color of a large area,such as a boot?

Dying leather boots?
While it is still on the market, Feibings Marine Black. To do a proper job you will need a bottle of Feibings Blue as well.





Clean the leather allow to dry.


With a felt dauber, apply an even coat of black to each boot. Allow to dry.


Buff each boot to remove flakes of residue.


Apply blue (over the black) in the same manner as before.


Allow to dry and buff.


Now, re-apply the black, allow to dry and buff.


You should not see a reddish sheen in the color of the boots.


That%26#039;s what the blue is for, to balance the color to even black. You may now polish to waterproof and seal in the color.
Reply:There is now a very good product on the market that will colour any leather black and is ideal for boots no matter what the finish is on them.
Reply:You can buy leather cleaner in horse tack stores and some shoe stores. All you need to do is clean the leather, and follow instructions. Good Luck! Hope I Helped!
Reply:even if is says for small areas i have died my boots
Reply:you can buy leather dye at shoe stores and it is raely easy just clean the boots put on the die(follow instructions on the bottle) and let the dry you might need to repeat every year

Leather boots?

i just bought a new pair of steve madden leather boots (i%26#039;m not sure if they are real leather because it says that it is man made material) and they go up to almost my knees. They fit my feet fine but they are kinda wrinkled near my ankles and calves, they are also kinda loose where as i think they should fit snug..i%26#039;m asian so i%26#039;m kinda petite and i think thats why they dont fit around my legs right. is there anything i can do to get rid of the crease and wrinkles and also is there a way to shrink it to make it fit my legs better? i reallly loved these boots and i want them to fit right. thanks! =)

Leather boots?
If they%26#039;re man made they won%26#039;t shrink so my remedy won%26#039;t work....But if they are leather this will work.


You can put them on and stand in water just covering the area you want to fix. After they%26#039;re pretty wet step out of the water and pat them dry, leave them on for a long time 1-2 hours. They will shrink a lot this should help take out the wrinkles and make them fit closer to your legs. After they shrink to what you want, apply a leather conditioner to the entire boot. You need condition them often. Good luck.
Reply:i am not sure about the shrinking or the cleaning part. I think you fell in love with a style of boots that just aren%26#039;t right for you legs. It%26#039;s like they make several types of jeans but unfortunately we can%26#039;t have every pair because all style don%26#039;t fit us. it love low riders. they have my size but with my behind, its not happening sister. lol
Reply:you can go to a shoe cobbler. (they are the people who used to make the shoes before factories did it). I%26#039;m sure there are some still around that can fix your shoes but it won%26#039;t be cheap.
