Huberd's Shoe Grease is a beeswax and pine tar compound that has been in use since the 1920's.

The only time I have seen/heard about the need to stir Huberds. Th3 can doesn't even mention it. Thank you!

[@chloehennessey6813]

My dad bought me a pint of this for all my leather boots, heels, purses etc. I applied it to my doeskin gloves as well and it’s wonderful. Dad says grandpa used Huberds in Alaska when he was a logger; that endorsement is good enough.

Just can't fix good enough!

[@ashdobbs7492]

that's nice dear

I like to use a soft toothbrush to work it into the the stitching and seams because I just can't get it in there with my fingers. A small cotton rag can also be used to similar effect. Also if the leather is dry or old I put on a second coat about 3 hours after the first. Any that doesn't soak in can be wiped off later. I also use this grease on my leather gloves. Love the stuff - been using Huberd's for 10 years.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

The toothbrush trick is something more people need to pick up on, it works really good!

[@craigwilkinson9590]

Just as a disclaimer when you say Tar product its pine tar. thats the resin from processing pine sap, not petroleum black tar. in case people wanted to know. this is my favorite product

[@timrichardson9318]

Hello, can this grease be used on other leather products like leather motorcycle saddle bags? Thank you.

[@loganrench5680]

@@timrichardson9318 yes just be aware it will darken light colored leather

Farmer, just started using this stuff on my boots and I love it. Exactly what I've been looking for

[@charlottec7619]

Wonderful and informative video, just got some leather boots and I want them to last, thank you for the great tutorial :)

[@nnlark]

Down to earth sense of humor appreciated :)

[@stevenroche9874]

I recommend heating the boots with a hairdryer after applying the Huberd's Shoe Grease to allow complete absorption.

[@Lupo32]

Won't that crack the leather ?

[@stevenroche9874]

@@Lupo32 No. Just be smart and keep it moving.

[@richiedeleon566]

These boots are beautiful and have a brave look. Beautiful stuff.

[@Gollammeister]

I’ve just today received my Hubertds shoe grease looking forward to trying it out hope it really does the job by nourishing and waterproofing exterior of the leather

[@malaquiasalfaro81]

Bought the 953's two years ago. I've loved them so far but had trouble with the lack of a true sole. Wish I knew these existed! They look just as great as the other ones with a better sole for my trade. Oh well, you live and you learn, and I'm happy

My same boots and same 874’s and of course the shirt as well

Thanks for the secret ingredients now I can make my own cream

Wow, every "shoe grease" video is "how to apply" and "how to read a label". Yeah. I've been applying for 35 years, just new to Huberd's product. SO I DID FIND this in another commenters comments somewhere else: Obernauf's and Huberd's, same stuff BUT THAT Obies is formulated to keep fire-fighting foam from damaging your boots. And that's all I needed to know. Also, HUBERD'S goes on very quick and easy compared to most others too. Love that part, I see more Huberd's in my future.

[@stevenroche9874]

Obenauf's LP and Huberd's Shoe Grease are COMPLETELY different products from two different companies.

[@wadepatton2433]

@@stevenroche9874 I was just repeating rubbish maybe. I use neither at present, preferring Pecards and an occasional light oiling with pure NFO.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

I like your boots

[@maureenpatro3291]

my husband loves this stuff and the smell. a tooth brush and a blow dryer melts it into the learlther.

[@scotts3574]

Love this stuff did my Chippewa arctic 50 last night, better than the shoe oil.

[@gangunitsergeantmartinez7656]

I use this same boot grease for my work boots and dress boots. By the way, I love the smell of pine tar.

[@ramblin_man23]

"If that kind of smell bothers you, you might want to wear gloves when you do this". Do gloves prevent the smell from going up into your nose? 🤷

[@rayniac211]

It's probably so your hands don't catch the smell. I imagine that would take a while to go away even with a thorough soap wash.

[@hollywood6867]

Great video thank you

[@charlesthedeadlifter4376]

Would you recommend applying this to brand new boots or after the break in?

[@ShawnsWorkshop]

I put it on all of my boots new and old. It doesn't seem to make a difference in performance.

Question; I'm a residential electrician who works on new construction, and my redwing 2406's went a solid 6 months of abuse during this very wet winter in Washington state. Yesterday I finally got around to conditioning them with Huberd's shoe grease. After applying a medium coat and waiting 24 hours I decide to apply another coat (they were in BAD shape haha). Unfortunately I applied the product without mixing it first (DOH!). My question to you Shawn is, should I be worried about applying a 3rd coat, and risking over saturating the leather? thank you for your time; and another great video. I'm a subscriber as of today. Cheers

[@ShawnsWorkshop]

I don't think you could hurt your boots with over-applying Huberd's. Lay it on heavy and let it work. The leather sort of "takes what it needs" and if there's anything leftover that hasn't soaked in after a day, just wipe it off with a cloth and it'll be fine.

[@23yovet]

Great news, thanks

[@davidgorman1671]

great video but can you do a water test??

[@GRPPLRJORDAN]

Are the boots true to size

[@RLK02]

How often should it be applied? thanks in advance!

[@ShawnsWorkshop]

I usually do twice a year. Once before winter and once in the spring. But it really depends on the conditions in which you use your boots. If you wear them out in bad weather a lot then they might need more grease to keep them nice and water resistant.
