The Bootlegs
Manolo says, one of the prizes the Manolo he will be awarding in the Manolo’s Super Fantastic Essay Contest (which, by the way, only has the one week left!) are the Bootlegs from the Manolo’s internet friend the Creative Queen.
The Bootlegs they are designed to help the expensive boots keep the shape in the closet or in the luggage. If like the Manolo y ou believe that with the proper storage and the maintenance the super fantastic shoes and boots can last many years, than the bootlegs they are the sensible investment.

Some advice for those who do not win the bootlegs… For years I have been using paper towel rolls (when the paper towels are done) to keep my boots upright in my closet.

I use lightweight plastic boot trees in all of my riding boots to maintain their shape. You can buy them at most horsey places, including anywhere that sells riding boots. If you’re feeling flush with the cash, they are also available in cedar. (You can hang them upside down to ensure that they do not fall excessively at the ankle, but boot trees are easier.)
Of course, black satin does sound more luxurious than plastic, perhaps I must buy them?
