I just got my first pair of thorogood boots and was wanting to know what should I use to break in and condition the leather or just wax and break in ?? Also, I’d love to keep the natural look of the leather as much as possible if possible at all, everything I’ve researched either darkened more then I wanted or left a campfire smell. Thank you.

[@cobblerama]

As a cobbler of over 25yrs, I totally agree with your methods. Too many people don't know you need to remove/rinse saddle soap residue. It builds up attracting dirt and dust in the creases which acts like sandpaper. It's also caustic which can change the leathers ph, making it dry and brittle. I don't use the spoon method on the soles as I have other methods to achieve similar results but overall an excellent video!

[@matttherrien9608]

I'm about to clean some "like new" mocs that have a dirty wedge. What's your method if you don't mind sharing, please?

[@cobblerama]

@@matttherrien9608 usually I do the uppers first then "clean grind" them by very lightly running the edge on the fine sandpaper wheel. If they aren't too bad I'll just use dyo to clean them. Sometimes a combo of both.

[@misssophie6515]

I think once they are conditioned again it is not that big of a deal, but in the moment where the soap goes on, the leather is temporarily stripped of the oils it needs and also all leather is treated acidic when it is tanned and leather soaps are alkaline, so it should be done as little as possible.

I was with you all the way, minus the meticulous sole cleaning. The saddle soap and tooth brush is it. If it does not want to come off, so be it. Everyone has their favorites for moisturizing. I have some cold weather boots that get mink oil. My most of the year work boots get Bick 4. I just use a cotton worn out t-shirt in place of the nice shop towels. You put the neutral polishing cream on at the end. That is a neat touch. Might try that. Good video. Appreciate the work.

[@raymondlowry8564]

My sincere compliments on your video. In my lifetime I have worked for several different boot manufacturers (I am currently a sales rep for Thorogood in the Western US) and over that time I have preached boot “maintenance” like this for years. If people would take a few minutes every couple of months to perform some cleanup of their boots (as in your video) they would save a fortune by not having to replace their boots so often. By the way, assuming we did our job at the factory correctly one doesn’t need to worry about sole separation on these boots. The way the soles are removed when worn out and replaced is to be ground/cut off. Essentially, unless we make a mistake at our factory (we are all human so it can happen) the soles “ain’t coming off.” Again, a very well done presentation! I will certainly be sharing with my accounts and when appropriate their customers.

My favorite “work” shoe is a pair of LL Bean loafers. Obviously my work is not that hard on the shoes. But still, I clean and treat them regularly. Because of that defects like house paint, caulk and the glues have a hard time sticking and are a breeze to clean off. I treat the inside of the leather too. Had them for decades and the soles have yet to wear through. I also wear the newer cloth type Athletic shoes with a padded insert. These are regularly thrown in the washer and come out looking new again. My real Frye work boots disappeared twenty years ago and were rediscovered recently while emptying out my sisters home. My nephews confessed to hiding them during a visit. Now, cleaned and treated very similarly to your work in the video, we are back in business. Thanks for the video.

[@stevenroche9874]

Great results! Although I would not dry scrub boots with a firm nylon bristle brush. Use Murphy's Oil Soap, warm water, and a horse hair brush. Saddle Soap contains wax which inhibits absorption of leather conditioner. Also, wait 24 hours after washing boots to thoroughly dry before conditioning. Laces can also be washed and hung up to air dry.

[@Browneye57]

Couple more tricks… If you have a lot of wear or cuts and abrasions on the leather a coat of URAD will hide/restore them. I will generally do the toe and counter like you mention here with your luster polish. A regular neutral paste polish will also work but is harder to buff out. A variety of bristle brushes work wonders, both for cleaning and polishing. Keep them separate for dark (black) and light boots (tan, brown). For really dried out leather, or an oiled finish like RW briar oil, neatsfoot or redwing oil will rejuvenate them. The RW oil is a lot more $$ but I suspect it’s a better product than plain neatsfoot oil. Leather cream instead of oil where applicable, Cadillac is fantastic. Yes, I have had 6 or 8 pairs of Red Wing boots. Some get really worn/worn out but restoring them is very satisfying. I’ve re-soled a handful of them. Sometimes I change the sole style or color to suit my taste.

AT STEP SIX; INSTEAD OF A POLISH, COULD A WATERPROOFER BE USED AND WHICH ONE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND.??

Impressive!!! 👍

# hours to clean two boots. What a project !

[@charlesdabucon4137]

If you watch closely, they just muddied the boots and clean it...if it’s worn out in a shop like mine you would have all scuff marks and tears...these has nothing

[@redeyejedi3753]

The only impression is that so many people have no idea what actual boots that have been worked in look like lol!

[@irinash8751]

Ботинки шикарные ! Плюс средства для ухода и мастер👍👍👍!!!

[@Rob_613]

Judging by the soles of those boots they were worn for 400hrs by a foreman...

[@oliveringram3056]

. Agree. No way have those boots worked 400 hours

[@rilybrooks4234]

@@oliveringram3056 that’s why he said foreman😂

[@Bold_as_a_Lion]

It’s all about that saddle soap huh?! Nice work. I’m definitely ordering some saddle soap!

[@briankendalll2093]

I searched for this. Got a real messed up pair of Redwing boots and a slightly abused pair of Dan Post boots. Your process will definitely put them back into play!

[@FairyFrequency]

Ahhhh... this is sooo relaxing. I need to use this cleaning technique on my vintage combat Red Wings. I did film lacing them up and crushing leaves on Fairy Frequency ASMR channel. Wow... Your boots are looking fabulous now! Wishing you an amazing day ♡

[@christopherdecker8171]

Great video. For tree sap, oil, grease, etc. try a little bit of brake cleaner, it works very well. Just be careful not to leave it on for a long time. It usually evaporates quickly anyway.

[@mrequi1]

Excellent video. I've been taking care of boots for over 45 years and I learned a couple of tricks.

[@teddyleandro1880]

Just went and did this to my boots with Bick 4 and neutral luster I got at boot barn. The few bucks I spent made my beat up Thorogoods look better than ever. And the luster on the toe and counter is a really nice touch!

Now this is the kind of video I've been waiting for! I've worked my Iron Rangers to the max. Time for a deep clean.

[@RoseAnvil]

Just make sure you test the conditioner on a small area first! A lot of people have darkened their boots more than they wanted on accident. Send me some pics on Instagram of the before and after!

[@AlexChristian]

@@RoseAnvil definitely!

[@stonewintjen505]

I have the iron rangers and used the redwing all natural boot oil and it certainly darkens the leather a lot. If you want to maintain the look of your boot the best I’ve found to use is Bic 4 by the bickmore company. They are super popular in western boot stores but they work a dream on leather and keep the color as well. It also works good on most luxury leathers as well. I use it on my dress boots which are a checkered pattern of dyed leathers and it has worked miracles and keeps the original color.

[@AlexChristian]

@@stonewintjen505 this kind of information is why I love the leather community! Thanks for the heads up!

Круть! Где бы еще взять такие реанимирующие крема и очистители, можно было бы не плохо сэкономить на новой обуви...хотя качество нашей обуви не гарантирует подобного результата)))

[@scotth5038]

After 40 + years in mud and dirt, I still carry a scrub brush in the back of my PU to knock off the every day crap off the boots. The dirt as it dries doesn’t pull the oil out off the boot body and prolongs the life and dries better.

[@georgiaallen7367]

What a lesson in rejuvenation of that 🥾.great job. Thanks.

[@ohozal9817]

Spent my lunch admiring my Thorogood Emperors that I use at work. First pair of them and your channel was a huge part of it. Love the content always. These have been going 6 days, 48-60 hours a week for 2 months now. They’re holding up amazing and I’ll be cleaning them this weekend! Ordering all the stuff now

[@tyroneclarke1666]

Like the way you first cover the boot in a light brushed coat of mud for the visual effect.
