Boot storage is a must all year round. In the offseason, most people store boots in a bin and put them away for the season. However, when wearing them daily in the winter, it is helpful to keep boots close by, like in a closet.

- Place boot mats or trays on the floors, protecting them from any salt, dirt, or moisture from the boots.
- Fill the boots with boot trees or shapers to keep them upright.
2. Clean boots before storing them.
