Leather is like skin in that it can dry out and crack. Using a conditioner helps keep leather supple and looking and feeling like new

Conditioning is great but it leaves a matte finish. Polish your leather boots to bring out a shine.

Not all boots take a shine

Before and After - Suede and Nubuck Boots

Suede and Nubuck boots and shoes have a rough texture and take some time and muscle to clean. If the boot just needs general cleaning that can be done with a specific suede brush and eraser. Soap, water, and a scrub brush is needed for heavier cleaning.

Responsive Web Design with Bootstrap

Strategy: Mobile-first design -- designing for smaller screens first -- 'Cause that's the direction of our techie world.

  • Boots Page - Uses Bootstrap v4. As of June 2016 -- in Alpha. Since it's only in Alpha release some things might be wonky. Note that v4 is a complete rewrite of v3.
  • No specific theme utilized though the new v4 Cards component is used
