I use saddle soap on mine or have Clint Eastwood do it..I wish!
As for the inside…I don’t know.My feet are clean when they go in and come out so I figure they’re ok.

I got them second hand and I’d like to clean them once inside and out before wearing them.

@zen Maybe a damp rag with saddle soap for the inside?I am not sure of other cleaners for leather.

I would ask the guy at the bowling alley what they use (a disinfecting spray? Lysol?) in the rental shoes that are cycled at the desk day in and day out.

Yep, as @lucillelucillelucille said..saddle soap.

I wear cowboy boots almost all the time. I have several pair and let me tell you… You don’t clean them. Part of the point of cowboy boots are to make you look tough and well… Just look at these compared to this new pair. See what I mean? If they’re muddy or something, just hose them off a bit. Other than that, let them wear. It’s way cooler.

As far as the inside, get some disinfectant spray. Something that kills fungus and bacteria is ideal. If they stink, wipe the inside down with some alcohol and then put a little baking soda in there. Good as new!

I always used Mink Oil inside and out.
