Caring for moccasins is different than caring for footwear such as shoes. To keep your moccasins lasting as long as possible, and looking their best, follow the tips below to learn more about caring for your moccasins:
- If you store your moccasins , do not use mothballs. The smell invades the leather and you cannot get it out.
- Avoid getting them soaking wet. If you do, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry. Make sure soil is scraped off.
- In general, keep moccasins away from direct heat. Do not place them close to a camp fire or a heater since the heat dries the leather.
- Use a good waterproof spray or oil to keep the leather soft and supple. Follow the directions carefully.
- Avoid storing moccasins in plastic. They need access to the air to breathe and where it is cool and dry. Your nose will thank you for your care.
By following the above guidelines, you will be caring for your moccasins properly, and you will be able to achieve maximum beauty and wear from them, which is something every wearer wants!
