what is the best thing of aging-deteriorationt?

I dont know if this is the right way to say this but the aging-deterioration is not something you aim for. In
a word, more like a result in my opinion. I take it granted for the boot lovers to make their boots look
good by aging and that is how they should be, but to make them like aged on purposely is not the right way
I suppose.In my opinion, to be wrapped about it too much could spoil the real meanings and essences of
how we enjoy them. This may be different story from the dress shoes or others, but the original meaning of
aging is definitely a result of how you have wore and mended since you have purchased and started to wear
them on. With some damages can be in better appearance. Neglecting the mending causes changes
correspondingly, while the perfect mendings can not make them change how you really want and this is
what all about. To accept the result which reflects directly how you have got along with it is the most
enjoyable thing about it and this casualness is the attractive point of the boots.

How to mend the shoes for each different types of leathers

It wont have much difference even though the type of leather is different, for suede leather I use the suede
brush to brush off the dust, raising and finishing them up with the waterproof spray. I also use what they
called BLUE STICK a kind of heavy-duty cleaner and this really works!! but personally I normally dont
use these kinds of cleaners so often.

What is the trick to get along with aging-deterioration

To say ,in a good sense, not to be so stoical. rub off the stains and dirts with cleaners by brushing as
usual,rub creams for nuturition. I think this is the best way for leathers to be mend not every day but when
they need to be in a rough style. What I think is, not in the bad way, you shouldnt ware the casual boots so
neatly as dress shoes. Recently, I grease my boots and brush them up before going out. Its no good you
dont care much about it but also to be too much concious. What is important is to keep up mending them
in your own extent and that will make your boots as your own styled ones.

Relation with the boots

Well, in the starting point, it was not so much for the boots but the soccer shoes that I tend to polish them
when I was a little. Since then I examined all the specs of the soccer shoes especially for checking up all
kinds of leather which was used and to search the best way for polishing acording to the leather which has
used. whan I was an age of primary, my idea of being a shoe polisher for a job in the future had gradually
became strong as I grow up. The boots had become a trend for the fashions in my youth and I just got in to
it. Just recognized how cool the ambered boots by aged deteriration was and stuffed my boots with my dads
shoe polish but good memory for me now though Of course I like custom boots and having a chance visting
the factories for my job and when I see their proccesses of being a boots, it made me to think of getting
new pairs and I actually did att once when I saw the worker rubbering manually in the factory in London.
