No special way to store boot.

I kept mine in storeroom and take out once a year.

For the bottom of the foot to drop off...there are some defective batch because my ict last year they allow FREE 1:1 exchange for those that the "mouth" open. Then all those who went to exchange really is the boot open until very jialat including mine.

actually if your ict is once a year, then still able to store. If like after 2 years then first ICT like my brother, dont bother keeping the boots. get a new pair.

Try to keep it try and kiwi-ed when storing it.

A good way is to hide it away from heat and sunlight while adding some desiccant into the storage box.

This method can prolong the life span of the boots..

Adding moisture absorbers may dry out the glue, and also possibly dry out the natural oils in the leather.
