Great video,would never have even dreamed of using a scouring pad to apply the renomat, but it works a treat,I did use a non-scratch one.

I think I’ve just witnessed a miracle. Amazing transformation! 😯

Beautiful work! I discovered your channel when I was searching for reviews on Fairfax and Favour Regina.

Are there any British boots that are on par with the redwing iron ranger? Or better for the price ? £329 I’m after a decent pair of casual boots. Would love some suggestions to check out..

Great video and amazing restoration work, sir! The RM website warns not to use leather conditioner on these chinchilla boots due to the analine finish and to only use neutral polish. Any danger of the leather drying out by following their instructions? Thanks for any advice

[@theshoeman1756]

I couldn't be certain is the honest answer.........I think these being made from a natural crust leather, there is always a danger of literally 'washing' the colour out with various creams and liquids. So, my best advice is always to use creams and polishes very sparingly, and if colour restoration is required which inevitably one day it will, then the correct colours of cream and polish can achieve this 🙂

How do I tell if my pair of RM Williams is Chinchilla or Yearling or Kangaroo leather? Its got orange leather sole and rubber heel with the horn emblem thing.

[@theshoeman1756]

The colour and finish would give it away Sir :-)

[@antonc108]

@@theshoeman1756 I will try comparing when I got time. It’s hard to tell the original color of my pair. It’s like light chestnut color.

How do you remove salt marks from leather soled shoes after they've become saturated? I've got some tan Loake brogues that I'm struggling to restore.

[@theshoeman1756]

Is it a white salt mark or has the leather blown and is stained. If it is the former Hiver Salt remover by Saphir is good. The later … trial and error. Saphir renomat would be a good product to start with.
