Funny story, around 10 years ago, I purchased some boots that were faux leather and I was so excited that the price was amazing. I think they were four pairs for $100. Steal right?!? The next following year, I was getting my boots ready for Fall/Winter. Unfortunatly, the boots I purchased were all worn out and it had some holes on the faux leather. I wasn't too happy; my husband was rubbing it my face stating that's what you get for buying cheap stuff. 😂

Supplies:

• Kiwi Suede/Nubuck Care Kit

Leather Boots:

1.  Use leather cleaner to clean any dirt and residue.
