Thursday needs to give you guys a discount code. Y'all are selling a lot of boots. I've got a closet full of nice shoes and boots, but I do not have anything from Thursday yet. That will be changing soon because of this channel.

[@travr6]

I have 2 pair of Thursday boots because of this channel and i never wear them. I'm a cowboy boot guy though. I wanted a dressier boot but they just don't work for me.

[@davidshellberg]

Great timing. I just bought a pair of these last week. I searched everywhere for proper care for them but found nothing. Thank you.

[@TrentonHeath]

Hope this helped.

[@07triman]

The thing that is frustrating is that even under the care section on the Thursday Website they don't really tell how to care for the Tobacco. The just need to link to this video.

[@knud_mtg2390]

Same just purchased the same boot shown here. Great to see some care advices

[@Feemy]

Do you need to waterproof them with the spray when they are brand new out of the box? I just got a pair and am hesitant to use the waterproofing spray as it may react with all the oils that are present in the R&R line of Captains.

[@pattgsm]

@@Feemy- I just got a pair and my advice is to condition and weather proof your new boots. Reason for immediate conditioning: Even though they are new and unworn, you never know how long they’ve been sitting in inventory since they were built. Reason for immediate weather proofing and/or liquid proofing. It my not be snowing or raining but you may be cooking, or having drinks and oil, food, or drink will eventually find your leather shoes. Proper conditioning weatherproofing, spill protection products for specific leathers will not change the pigment. Using the wrong products will change the appearance but not the functionality or wearability. You get more bang for your $ sticking to neutral (non-pigmented) conditioners if you have various shades of brown plus black leathers.

[@MJnNB]

My compliments to both of you for showing us this brand of craftsmanship. It's nice to see these shoes being restored and put back into service. I have a better appreciation for buying quality that will last and able to be restored rather than always buying disposable junk that ends up in the trash. You're making a difference. Thank you for the videos.

[@cww922]

Just bought my first pair of Thursday Captain rough leather boots. They are still a bit stiff (on my second week). This video answers my questions about how to care for these boots. First, I’ve got to get broke in and dirty, wish me luck!

[@hu-ry]

the rough leather ones take a lot longer to break in ^-^ took me painfully almost a month but after that they fit you like a glove :D

[@orcaartist]

There’s something so satisfying about watching leather and suede shoes being cleaned and polished. 🧼

[@shavedwolf87]

I used some Bick 4 conditioner on my pair, I watched this video a few times before hand. I honestly like the way they look now, it did slightly darken them and I am happy with it. I would recommend not using conditioner unless you want them darker.

[@asterisk606]

It's less about the color and more about the texture.

[@doublen675]

Thank you! I have a pair of the rugged and resilient boots coming on Thursday... from Thursday... (That just occurred to me) and I wasn't certain how different this leather would be. You probably just saved my boots!

[@TrentonHeath]

Awesome!

[@Thursdayboots]

Looking forward to having you a part of the Team!

[@SilverSergeant]

Based on your previous videos, I bought a pair of Thursday Rugged & Resilient Captains a few months ago...I really like them....Thanks for the education you provide!!!

[@TrentonHeath]

You’re quite welcome!

[@pitis2flie]

I’ll add to this that I recently inadvertently changed the color and texture of my copper rough and tough red wing blacksmiths because I used a boot cream that was for smooth leathers. I wrongly assumed that if it was gentle enough for smooth finish leathers, my rough and tough boots could handle it no problem. The new color and texture are not horrible, but it’s just not the same boot that I picked out to purchase.

[@hometownkid]

I ended up doing the same. I didn't watch or read the rugged resilient care video. I used a brown crème On my Arizona adobe and now they're darker. I don't hate it but it's not what i originally had.... I just wish the box would have had instructions. My cobbler didn't know and just pointed me to the black rock conditioner.😢😢

[@fullmetalroyal1216]

Thank you for this, everytime I would ask Thursday boots they would tell me "just wipe it with a damp rag" and im like MA'M THERE ARE SOME THINGS DAMP RAGS CAN'T DO lol

[@Thursdayboots]

We didn't have specific shoe care products to apply for some of our Rugged Collection when we first released the style. A lot of oils and tended to darken the leather. But we now have a great cleaner that works perfectly with our Rugged leathers. To clean these leathers, you can spray the Leather Cleaner( available on our website) and use a clean Microfiber Cloth to wipe them down, as well as a Premium Shoe Brush to remove any dirt on the surface.--- In addition to everything Trenton & Heath Recommend :)

[@jorgefigueroa2231]

@@Thursdayboots Hi, your boots are awesome! :) I own black Matte and I literally just ordered Arizona Adobe 10 minutes ago! I'm excited to own two beautiful boots in both colors!

[@chandlerwhite3427]

I just wanted to comment that I did this process on my Arizona Adobes that were stained. I use the exact same products as this video. It worked and they look closer to new now, but I think that suede shampoo really dried out the toe cap and removed some of the original oils. I used both the conditioner and water resist spray afterwards. I’ll have to see how it goes moving forward. I think in retrospect, the best thing to do is just wipe down with water if there’s a bad stain and be vigilant about brushing with the horsehair brush. I’ll try to avoid using the shampoo again if I can.

[@sydney4911]

Glad to actually see that you wear boots. All this time I've only seen you guys wearing sandals. Always wondered how safe it was to wear the sandals in the line of work you guys do without putting your feet at risk of injury.

[@TrentonHeath]

Hi Anthony! Yeah, these definitely needed a good cleaning. It’s about time. Have a great weekend as well!

[@Rokaize]

Just so you all know: if you put something like sno seal, or some other wax, on these types of boots it won’t ruin them. It will certainly change the texture and look, just like he said. Theyl take on a shiny look. The suede will disappear. And Itl be somewhat waxy to the touch.

[@DolphinsEatFish]

would it make them darker? i like the color but these are pretty easy to scratch, would it help protect it from scratches?

[@Rokaize]

@@DolphinsEatFish Yeah Itl darken them a lot. Not much you can do about that. And yeah scratches should be helped too since it’s making the leather more moist and is pointing a layer of wax over the leather.

[@trevor6358]

I put liquid conditioner on some red wings with the same type of leather and it really completely changed it. Not ruined or anything and they are outdoor work boots so don't really care, but yea it really fully changes it.

[@jorgefigueroa2231]

...I'm saving this video. I just purchased the same exact shoe and I own Black Mate Captains. It's an amazing shoe, I just want to make sure I'm taking good care of them.

[@powderriverfarrier]

Darn good warning from the Man With the Knowledge on the correct way to handle that type of leather.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you sir! 👍

[@TrentonHeath]

The question that seems to be popping up consistently down below is “wouldn’t mink oil do just as good of a job on these boots?”. This sounds like a GREAT video idea; however, I’ll answer it again. These particular boots are like a rough out/suede leather. Unless you completely want to change the LOOK and TEXTURE of these boots, you would NOT want to use mink oil. Mink oil has its time and place for SOME leathers, but it will definitely darken most any leather it’s applied to. It’s often a good conditioner for work boots that are taking a beating each day, but it’s not always the best go-to for all boots. Thursday Boots are NOT work boots. They are a well constructed style boot. For many rugged, work boots, yes, mink oil can be a good option. I hope that answers it. Yep...good video idea! 🤔

[@Kingfisher1215]

I actually like Obenauffs vs mink oil but it would be the same result on these boots. I end up using shoe cream if I don't want to change color or darken. Actually I hate to admit but I use Kiwi shoe cream. But it might change the texture. I never buy a rough out or suede leather on my boots.

[@Cemmos]

@UCkCPIwxskJpk-qGx6DO_i7g Saphir is just about the highest end you can go for shoe care products. There's a reason a lot of cobblers and leatherworkers in general use it as a go-to when working with leather, whether to reinvigorate the leather or as a finish before selling a new product. Junk isn't the right word to use. If anything, mink oil is junk 90% of the time unless you're buying a cheaper pair of $100 work boots that you aren't looking to keep for a decade or two and just toss after a couple of seasons. Mink oil does the trick for throwaway boots that don't need much attention and works well in that regard. It's cheap, helps with water resistance, and conditions enough so that the leather doesn't dry out. Going for mink oil is common because of those reasons, not because it's a top of the line product for every scenario. EDIT: the comment must have been deleted.

[@TrentonHeath]

@@Cemmos The previous comment from the other user was getting a bit out of hand and uncalled for. We had to delete it. Thank you for your input. I completely agree with you! 👍

[@Cemmos]

@@TrentonHeath understandable! It was pretty aggressive for no reason.

[@maxnoerenberg6370]

I have a pair of nice looking blake stitched rough leather shoes / business shoes Oxford style....and I use a liquid leather balm on them.....then let it dry and go over with medium strong brush over the shoe to roughen up the texture......never had any problems with color or texture change. But then the leather balm is color neutral and it smells so good. Plus they get a bit water resilient ( not waterproof though ) because they are business shoes they dont need to be waterproof.

[@FenderFan1964]

Incredibly helpful, thanks. I emailed Thursday Boots asking what products they recommend for maintaining my President Tobacco boots.

i didn't know about the saphir products used in this video. i own a pair of burgundy chippewas, and i've been using the product called saphir creme cuire gras, specifically for oily leathers used in boots which was after watching a boots maintenance video from kirby allison. the product is very similar to renovateur in terms of color, concentration and texture, but intended more for boots than regular dress shoes.

Thanks for the great instructional video! It helps me know the boot cleaning process. I got my Thursday Captains in Tobacco Rugged & Resilient Leather about a month ago. I’m torn on which cleaning product to buy though! I like the Otter Wax brand because of the natural ingredients. You guys said to use a Seude shampoo and Otter Wax has a Suede Cleaner, but I saw on the “Gentleman’s Journey” channel he used saddle soap to clean rugged resilient leather. Otter wax has a natural saddle soap too. I just want to clean my boots and I would love them to have a nice oiled/moist look/texture after they dry. What do you recommend between? Thanks for your time and videos! :)

Suggestion: shoe brushes that have picked up an accumulation softer wax or a colored shoe polish can easily be washed out using hair shampoo (best washed twice).

[@majidnolley6582]

I’d love to know if anyone has a solution.

[@Player-125]

I had this issue with a pair of Red Wing Blacksmiths in copper rough & tough that I applied boot oil to. To get the boot oil out I used a small Kiwi horsehair brush and a bowl of warm water with a small amount of dish soap dissolved in it. I cleaned each boot 2-3 times, gently rinsing them under warm running water in between washes, wiping them down with a microfiber towel after to get the excess water off. Then I stuffed them with paper and let them dry overnight by an open window. In hindsight it may have only taken one treatment with the dish soap to get the oil out. The dish soap removed the oil, but it also took out the patina and the "pull up" effect from the leather. To restore the depth and patina for this particular Red Wing leather, I used a light treatment of their All Natural Leather Conditioner to put some depth and conditioning back into the leather. Hope that helps!

Hi! Thanks for watching! Yeah, Renovateur has some waxes in it that’ll give a bit of a shine. On Red Wings, we usually use the Greasy Leather Cream by Saphir, which was made for oiled leathers, or you can use the stuff Red Wing sells. I, personally, don’t recommend Renovateur.

This video was a how-to on how to care for them if you don’t want to change the look and texture at all. It’s definitely not going to hurt them to use cream or conditioner. If you do want to start over, I’d clean them with suede soap a few times to remove the oils from the cream.

How did the look change? I think i'd want a more smooth, polish-able look to my boots. The reason I got this "finish" was it was all that was available in an EE width.

The look became a more polished look...probably what you're looking for? I was trying to keep more of the matte finish. When I put the cream on them it took the matte finish away, but they still look very nice.

@@davidmacy2252 Thanks! What cream were you using? I'll give it a try.

I’ll be honest...I placed liquid moisturizing cream on my Arizona Adobes. Don’t get me wrong...they’re still beautiful, but not very rugged anymore. I immediately purchased another pair following my whoopsie.
