Kim Kardashian and the models on the Balenciaga runway don\u2019t need to worry about cleaning their \u201cpantaboots\u201d (aka \u201cjoots\u201d). But those who are buying them (for $325 through Agolde or $2,990 through Saint Laurent) will need to think about how to eliminate that wine stain.\u00a0 But how?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t know of a cleaner who would touch those,\u201d said Ann Hargrove, director of events and special projects at the National Cleaners Association.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dry cleaning is not an option<\/b><\/p>\n

Although Damien, a Saint Laurent representative who declined to give his last name, advised customers to take their joots to the dry cleaner, the answer is complicated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like home washers, dry cleaning machines rotate clothes in a perforated cylinder and spin them dry. But they use chemical solvents instead of water. Unfortunately, joots \u2013 like those from Saint Laurent \u2013 have a cotton denim fabric sewn onto a leather shoe. The tumble process warps the leather, and the chemicals remove the cow hide\u2019s natural oils and dry it out. So, dry cleaning joots is out of the question.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spot cleaning is (soft of) an option<\/b><\/p>\n

Garments labeled \u201cspot-clean only\u201d are made with at least one piece or section too delicate for machine washing and dry cleaning. Think of joots as similar to a hand-beaded dress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alas, spot cleaning does very little. \u201cIt’s just steaming,\u201d Hargrove said. \u201cYou steam out whatever spots are in there, and it\u2019s not a real cleaning.\u201d It cannot make joots good as new. What\u2019s more, even if a cleaner is convinced to take on the garment, it\u2019s going to be costly, and the garment may not come back in one piece. \u201cA cleaner is going to have (their customer) sign a release if they even attempt to attempt it,\u201d she said. After all, most have never worked with joots.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let nature do the work<\/b><\/p>\n

David Shuck, managing editor\/partner at Heddels, an online magazine dedicated to the raw jean movement (which celebrates authentic, untreated fabric), recommends an out-of-the-box, free alternative to spot cleaning: laying pantaboots in the sun. Exposing denim to UV rays for a couple of hours kills bacteria. \u201cThe sun would be a decent method if you want to avoid water touching them at all,\u201d he said. Still, it won’t remove any dirt or debris.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shuck is more concerned about the leather than the cotton-denim. He recommended waiting a couple of days between wears and airing out the leather soles by folding down the pant portion. \u201cThe leather needs time to dry out from all the sweat that your feet made,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

You could also just \u2026 not<\/b><\/p>\n

Levi\u2019s recommends washing regular jeans at least once every 10 wears to maintain a good fit. But, if someone is sitting most of the day, they can go longer. And let\u2019s be honest, how active are people really going to be in joots?\u00a0 Small stains can be removed with a damp cloth and mild soap. What\u2019s more, after 10 wears, those joots may not even be a trend anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hargrove is skeptical that pantaboots should be cleaned at all. \u201cThat’s a great look, but it’s wearable art,\u201d she said. Julia Fox cut her joots after wearing them and turned them into regular boring boots. Perhaps she just didn\u2019t want to clean them!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you must, hand wash<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0If a professional cleaner isn\u2019t willing to take on the challenge, hand cleaning is a last- ditch, imperfect option. \u201cHolding them up by the heel and hand washing in a bathtub works,\u201d said Marissa Sparrow Hawk, a fashion reviewer and proud owner of pantaboots.\u00a0 Do so very, very carefully. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1. <\/b>Wash your bathtub\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure no hair or shampoo residue is sticking around. Work with a clean surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2.<\/b> Pick a detergent you trust<\/span><\/p>\n

When washing jean material, use laundry detergent, such as The Laundress\u2019s Denim Wash, designed for dark clothing to prevent fading.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3.<\/b> Use cold water<\/span><\/p>\n

Fill the tub with a couple of inches of cold water to submerge the pant part of the joots. Washing a garment changes its fibers and color. Cold water won\u2019t fade the colors, and it prevents shrinking. Imagine the horror of a line revealing exactly where the water stopped touching your joots!<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4. <\/b>Add detergent \u2013 and soak<\/span><\/p>\n

Add a few drops of detergent. Submerge the pant area, and keep the leather above water, either by holding the heels or draping them over the tub. Let the fabric soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Make sure the leather doesn’t touch the water. You don\u2019t want it to dry out and crack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 5.<\/b> Rinse<\/span><\/p>\n

As with regular jeans, drain the soapy water and rinse the joots by filling the tub with cold water. Repeat this process until there are no more suds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 6.<\/b> Dry<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wring and twist. This can damage the fibers. Unzip any zippers and unbutton buttons, and lay the jean material flat on a drying rack with the leather shoe elevated. Wait until dry and voila, you\u2019re done!<\/span><\/p>\n
