"Nothing is wrong except that my boots are disintegrating. Please play on."

Hey Guys,

We are seeing a lot of cases where our boots just disintegrated. Law, WenGuang and Eng Siang had all fallen victim to this "chui"-ing.

As a simple rule of the thumb, DO NOT SUN YOUR BOOTS.

The leather/synthetic polymer is like our skin, which, under the impact of UV rays, becomes damaged and turns brittle. While our skin recovers through our various food intake (And in ah law's case, skincare products and suntan lotions), our boots have no means of regeneration.

A good way to dry your boots will be to stuff it with newspapers and pressing it. This method is damn troublesome but your boots will dry faster than you think. Alternatively, just air your boots if you can afford the time.

For boots storage, try to kiwi (black or neutral) them as they may become too dry and subsequently turn brittle. I had never try this method before but a few friends of mine approves of its effectiveness.

Remember why your beloved boots chui, and do not let them die in vain.
