Your boots have a sleek, race-ready appeal that adds confidence when you saddle up for the day. They are comfortable yet snug around your foot, adding superb protection and movability. You don’t have to worry about missing a shift. However, it’s possible to blow dirt onto the leather when out on the track. As a result, the sleek styling could lose its luster and not look as fresh next to your bike. That is why keeping your boots clean with the Shoe MGK Cleaner and Conditioner is crucial. The shoe cleaner soaks into the fibers of the leather, attacking and breaking down dirt and debris from the molecular level. This process ensures the boots get a deep clean that has them ready to shine next to your bike.

  1. Prep the SMX Boots by brushing off any excess dirt with the dry brush.
  2. Dip the brush into a clean bowl of water and cleaner.
  3. Lather the shoe with the nylon brush until the solution becomes foamy. Wipe away the excess solution with a clean towel. Repeat until the shoe is clean.
