Shoe-wax day

Wax on - wax off

Waxing the hiking boots

A few days ago I noticed that my hiking shoes are really in need of some TLC. So, today I had a shoe-wax day, waxing all our hiking boots.

My wife and I each have two pairs of hiking boots, and one pair of hiking shoes. So, that means six pairs of shoes to wax, or twelve shoes.

Old boots

We both have a pair of hiking boots which are over twenty years old. Of course, these are the most comfortable to wear. The soles how ever are really worn, and are really thin.

Sometime ago we both bought new hiking boots. But new ones are never as comfortable as the old ones. That is why we still have the oldies, we never can bring ourselves to throw them out.

Fine smell

My way of waxing shoes is to put on the wax, let the shoes stand over night, and the next day go over them with a brush and a cloth.

So, now there are six pairs of freshly waxed shoes in the hallway, which gives the whole hallway that nice smell of wax :)

Worth the work

Like mentioned above, we have hiking boots that are over twenty years old. This shows that waxing your boots and shows once in a while really pays of.
