Some people dread the first month or two of owning a pair of leather boots, even to the point of desperately searching for any way to make them softer.

If you're going to invest in a pair of quality leather work boots or casual ones, you should also invest in the care and maintenance of your boots.

Ankle boots are an effective compromise between stylish and functional, as you have some of the ankle support of a traditional boot but can actually wear them indoors without your feet boiling.

If your leather boots have taken a beating, you probably need to restore them. If you find a pair of leather boots that are beat to heck on the used market, you'll probably need to restore them.

Most people either select or for that matter need a higher arch profile because they're going to be doing some heavy labor and in rough areas, for the casual wearer, this is overkill.
