How to use Huberd's shoe oil to oil leather hiking boots

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Damn happy you are back posting videos. Always like seeing your boots...and any other videos you post..!!

[@jimbasler1054]

I wore those,in the late 70's-early 80's,and I always used mink oil,on them.

Just bought some Columbia backpacking boots. I’m gonna have to see if the leather will need to be oiled... but I think my old danners are due for some oiling back up. Thanks for the video!

Reall glad i subbed, love the videos

4:56 Indeed, you can kill a pair of boots by over treating them just as you can by neglecting them. The art of boot care is to find the right balance. I prefer wax treatmants over oils as they don't weaken the leather fibres.

Nice boots. what's model and brand ?

[@waszka73]

hey, how do they look now after some break in? still stiff? thanks

[@SuperAudionut]

Please provide update on the Alico Guide. Deciding whether to spend $200 to buy pair volunteering rebuilding hiking trails at Mt Rainier, Cascade mountains. Want a comfortable heavy duty boot that can also used for mountaineering. Enjoying your videos.

[@KimballCody]

I'll do a video. You should get them. The break in as tough but they're good boots

[@redazi1]

I believe SIR is the way you are lacing them

[@jiwanrai1932]

Looks nice. Is it available to buy ?

New to treating for boots! Question: i love my boots and i am definetly cool with keeping up with oiling them, however how hard is it to find a person or learn how to give my boots new soles?

[@aurelianobuendia5360]

you can always order vibram sole from ebeay for this exact model and visit your shoe repair shop

[@davidjmcintyre5981]

How are these boots going now? Are they still stiff

[@finnblu3002]

Hubert’s grease in the can vs the oil in this container? Your preference is the oil as a lighter less extreme of the two? Is this product still an option or is bick 4 the go to these days? Does anyone actually use Redwing boot care products and magic spray? I own brand new Iron Rangers and not sure which products or process or way to go before winter weather and general crappy, slushy conditions are a given-

[@SSN515]

I use Redwing boot oil and spray on my amber 8111's. That's what their website tutorial says to use. Darkens them a bit, but works great. I oil and spray prior to winter snow, slush, and salt and then wash and re-oil in the spring. I use Huberds grease and oil on my military leather boots and Obenaufs LP and oil on my hunting and backpackers, including my Alico Summits and New Guides. All of them work great and they are all kinda the same, I would say. Hope this helps.

John Puplic thanks

Heavy mountaineering boots must retain a certain stiffness to it you sir just ruined them.

[@KimballCody]

You sure about that?

[@toro64xxx]

@@KimballCody yes I am

[@arncj18]

are shoe trees allowed on these?

[@chrispotts2808]

Have you tryed redwings dyna force boots? Those have been go tos for the last year.

Please never do that. DO not put so much oil on the leather shoes. And you know. Do not use just the oil. It will soften your leather but TOO much. It is not good for the leather to absorb only oil, use mixed with wax of different kinds. Whith this much oil you will also achive that your leather will be so oily and soft that all the glue used to connect parts of the shoe or just help to hold the parts will come loose. Please never ever make what the author of this video did!

[@KimballCody]

You're wrong. Nothing of what you stated had happened?

@@KimballCody Sorry I do not fully understand your sentence. But what I have wrote it is from more than 9 years of shoemaking experience. Oil is too much. Have a great day.

[@12Radius]

Are these as tough as your whites ?

[@KimballCody]

A little different feel. The soles are super stiff and the uppers have padding. We'll see how long they last compared to the White's

[@petersilecchio4417]

Hi. Do you care that they got Dark?

[@KimballCody]

No
