The first step is ensure you have a dehumidifying product in the depths of your wardrobe to neutralize the air surrounding your shoes (Damp Rid or Hippo are two brands I know are readily available). This will stop mildew, mould and musty odours while your boots are not in use.
Secondly, give your boots a wipe / scrub down, to remove all the nasty mud or dirt that has accumulated over the long wet winter.
Thirdly, you need to brace the boots so they do not get creased or floppy in the 6 months of non activity.
Check out the everyday household items I have used to brace mine. They work remarkably well and are extremely easy to find in your recycling pile.

What do you usually use to brace your boots?
My best tip is fight the desire to throw away all of the 'stuffing' you receive when you purchase boots and use that as the brace when it is time for your boots to hibernate.
Get prepping ladies!
