Boot Shapers – What are they?
Just as the name suggests, simply put, boot shapers, shape your boots. While balling up wads of paper may seem like the best way to keep your boots standing upright when not being worn, a boot shaper will keep the shape of the boot smooth and in form without causing damage, moisture, or mold to spread through the fabric.
What do Boot Shapers Do?
When you go into the stores or purchase your boots online, the one thing you notice, no matter what the material of the boot is, is that they are standing upright and look smooth, straight, and well… perfect. That is because they too are using boot shapers to display their wear. Boot shapers help prolong the life of boots and maintain their original form after each wearing. The shapers will expand to fit the desired form of the boot. The shapers keep boots in upright position. No more pulling out slouched and crinkled boots from the closet. No more wasting time smoothing out and getting frustrated that your boots didn’t stand the test of time, or season.
Why are Boot Shapers Important?
Looking into the average closet you will see boots slumped over other boots or shoes. When the fabric flops to the side, this can cause cracks and creases at the crooks of the bend and over time this will cause more damage to the material. We aim to be above average and in doing so have designed some true tested products to make your boot and shoe form easy and flawless to maintain. Using a boot shaper has many important factors: 1.Maintains and supports the original shape and form of the boot
2. Allows circulation of air to allow:
a) Natural drying
b) Keeps natural moisture from escaping to avoid cracking and creasing
c) Keeps any perspiration from lingering
d) Lessens odors from absorbing into the leather or other materials
3. Easy to Use
4. Takes up less space than slumped over boot
5. Prolongs the life of the boot
6. Comes in many options and fashionable colors (we will get to this below)
