Frye Melissa Seam Boots + How to Protect Leather

I don’t know about y’all, but to me it seems like finding the perfect pair of rustic leather boots can be SO challenging!! Frye honestly hit it out of the park with the Melissa Seam Boots. They have a relaxed and rustic air while still looking super classy.

When I buy boots, I expect them to last for years to come. That’s why when I purchase a good pair of boots, I immediately make a point to protect them from weather and keep them clean. Jason Markk makes an amazing liquid and stain repellent that you can find here. It’s $17, can be used for years, and is kinda like insurance for your boots! I always freak out a little before applying a repellent or cleaner to any of my boots because, well, I have a problem, and I basically treat my shoes like my own children haha. BUT I’ve never had any issues with this water and stain repellent!

See how shiny and beautiful they are?! I also make it a habit to condition and clean my leather shoes and accessories. I use Leather Cleaner by TriNova at least once a month to keep the leather as close to perfect as possible.
