Knee-high wedge boots are very stylish and certainly not everyone can pull them off. Still, many women prefer to wear knee-high wedge boots because it’s sexy and fashion-forward. Even celebrities like Lenny Kravitz (yes, he was seen wearing a pair two years ago), Geri Halliwell, and of course, Kate Moss were spotted wearing knee-high wedge boots.

Leather knee-high wedge boots, on the other hand, are an entirely different thing. The authentic leather pairs of knee-high wedge boots can easily cost an arm and leg which is why it is very important to care for them to extend their shelf lives.

To do that, you must make sure that the pair of leather knee-high wedge boots you are buying is in perfect condition. Marks, creases, cracks, scuffs, and other damages should not be present in the wedge boots. You certainly don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on leather wedge boots that will last for just a month, do you?

The next thing to do is condition the boots as soon as you get home. Buy a can of WD-40, leather conditioner, or mink oil to loosen up the leather and keep it moist. Once you store your pair of leather knee-high wedge boots, they should be placed in an upright position – they shouldn’t be folded or stored in shoe racks because it can cause creases and cracks in the long run. A clear space with enough height is the best area to store your leather knee-high wedge boots.

You can keep the pair of wedge boots in an upright position by placing a cylinder object inside the shoes. Stack many objects if you can to help maintain this position. If you don’t plan on wearing it in the near future, regularly wipe it with a moistened cloth to remove the dirt that may have accumulated during its storage.

Other products that could help preserve your leather knee-high wedge boots for many years include a leather shoe cleaner, shoe shiners, beeswax, and leather spray.
