Are Martin boots the same as work boots? How to maintain Martin boots

Martin boots are a very handsome type of boots. Many people like to wear Martin boots. The style of Martin boots is relatively stiff. They can be worn casually or as ladies. Martin boots look good with pants or skirts.

Different. Martin boots are divided into three types: short boots, mid-length boots, and long boots. Generally, short-waisted Martin boots are more common. There are many colors and patterns. Black is the most traditional, brown is the most conservative, and various mixed colors are also very popular. The soles are relatively thick and durable. Work boots mainly refer to American work boots. In recent years, they are one of the popular fashion terms in the clothing industry and a new element of shoes. They are often worn by fashionable young people.

1. Remove stains: The step of removing stains depends on the degree of dirtiness of the shoes. If the shoes are too dirty and need to be removed, you can use saddle soap. After the sponge is wet, wring out the water, tap the saddle soap several times, and then tap the saddle soap several times on the shoe surface until the bubbles are evenly distributed. Tap more times on the dirty areas. Then wipe them directly with a soft cloth and let them air dry. Oil the shoes in time after air drying.

2. Dust removal: If the shoes are not too dirty, simple dust removal is enough. Choose a horsehair brush for dust removal. Here are two good horsehair brushes, Pedag and Woly, both of which are German brands. The horsehair brush is moderately soft and hard, which can avoid the phenomenon of fuzzing or scratching during the dust removal process. The horsehair brush cannot reach the large welts of the soles and uppers, so you can choose a gap brush as much as possible.

3. Oiling: Some people choose to use a brush or bare hands to brush shoes with oil. Here, it is recommended to use a shoe-polishing cloth (if there is no shoe-polishing cloth, a clean soft cloth will also work). The shoe-polishing cloth can be cleaned after use and reused repeatedly. Wrap two or three fingers with the shoe-polishing cloth, dip it in shoe polish and apply it evenly in circles on the shoe surface. Then leave it for 1 to 2 minutes and wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Here we recommend the French SapHiR Black and Gold series. The black label (Renovateurs) is heavy on cleaning and nourishing, and the gold label (CREME1925) is pure nourishing. Generally, the gold label is used when the boots have not been cared for for several months or the leather is dry. For normal care, the black label can be used for oiling. If you are worried that the nourishment is not enough, you can use the black gold for cleaning first, and then use the gold label for nourishing. Oiling can achieve the effects of cleaning, nourishing, enhancing waterproofness, and brightening the gloss.

1. Martin boots need to be fully cared for before collection. The steps of care do not need to be too complicated. Just clean the stains on the surface of the boots, apply a layer of shoe polish, wait for the shoe polish to gradually penetrate the leather, and then gently wipe the leather surface with a soft cloth until the leather becomes bright! Finally, place it in a ventilated and dry place for 1-2 days before storing it in a shoe box. If the boots are stored for a long time, they should be taken out occasionally for ventilation to avoid mold.

2. Martin boots should not be placed in the same storage box as other shoes, but should be placed separately. Because putting two shoes of different materials and sizes together will definitely cause the shoes to squeeze each other and deform, affecting the effect of wearing again. If the shoes are left alone for too long, dead folds that are difficult to restore will appear on the shoes, which will not only add trouble to their maintenance, but also increase the difficulty of repairing Martin boots! The gain is not worth the loss.

1. Martin boots + cropped jeans

When pairing Martin boots with pants, try to choose a nine-point length to avoid the pants bunching up at the shoe opening, which will make you look neater.

2Martin boots + black tights

Black leggings are also very popular in winter. Paired with a pair of thicker Martin boots, they can make your legs look thinner.

3. Martin boots + nine-point straight pants

Girls whose legs are not straight enough can wear nine-point straight pants with Martin boots, and they will still look very handsome.
