To help prevent a new plastic brush from scratching leather, first scrub it on hard rough surfaces to soften the bristle tips. Having a go on concrete and sandpaper first will help protect subsequent leather during brushing.

As a kid, my old neighbor used to polish his shoes on the back porch & I would watch him for an hour on certain Saturdays. He worked in a cobbler's shop in the 30's & used a Fuller vegetable brush, #2, some Kiwi wax, a toothbrush and an old (clean) bird's eye weave diaper. He lit the wax and let it burn while he said Mississippi three times then blew it out. Then he'd dip the toothbrush in and scrub the polish on the flats and into the stitching, buff it all in with the Fuller brush then "power" polish with the diaper. My dad laughed at the thought of having a box of diapers on the army base where he used to teach recruits at basic training. But the shine... WOW!

I am 52 years old, and I have learned a lot over the last 2 years about boot care. I work in a steel mill, and we face many different BOOT HAZARDS constantly, from wading in water to standing in limestone dust, wading in grease or oil, extreme heat, and cold...... as many of you do. The fact is I was tired of replacing up to 4 pairs a year. At this point I could go through a huge list of all the problems you all have experienced. These class of boots in these videos are truly a step above. I however went with Whites, nothing against the other company's product, (Nick's, or Adam's) I just prefer White's. The only thing I regret about going to a top teir boot is waiting until I wad 50 years old to invest in these. You do have to maintain your investment and it will give you what you expect. The initial cost seems high but the durability is there and the rebuildable benefit is typically less than the cost of throw away boots.

I’ve been wearing leather boots for over 30 years. What ruins leather is repeated wetting and drying which hardens the leather. Once it gets hard and flexes, it cracks. Saddle soap is ok to clean them, mink oil is ok if you can handle the stickiness, neatsfoot oil is ok, but messy. The main thing is you keep the leather soft. Obenhauf’s leather preservative inside and outside the boot is the best in my experience. Soft leather, you can shine over it. For whatever all that’s worth. There’s a million ways to treat leather boots....

have been wearing leather boots, mostly cowboy boots most of my life. I like using creams/conditioners as well. I have multiple brushes I use. To clean dirt off I use the same brush. After I apply cream I use a gine horse hair brush. It shines up really well. You might like it on more of a dress style boot or shoe but it seems to make fine dust roll off the boot. Enjoying the videos & I try to keep up with them. Keep up the good work & thank you for doing these videos.

Interesting. I remember making sure we filled the pours of our leather boots and shoes with boot polish to make them have an even (high gloss) shine when I was in the military. We even went so far as to lite the polish on fire to melt the wax and make it easier to apply. I really like the new boots that are rough on the outside. I'll see if I can find some good quality shoe cream for my Red Wing work boots.

How much obenaufs have you put on your boots? I've never had build up issues I usually don't do the whole boot ie tongue and uppers every time. I'm in the mud and dirt all the time sticks to my boots when I get home at night I take the garden hose and a kitchen brush I scrub the mud off. In the morn the boots are dry and I'm off to work, the only time I reapply obenaufs is when I start feeling dampness while wearing my boots I know its time to grease them. I started feeling dampness last week so I greased my Vibergs on Tuesday dampness is gone. I usually don't grease my laces but I smeared some on for chits and giggles I do notice a difference the laces slide and allows the boot to move.

Hi again, I have 2 points to make here,1. I use the same type of brush to clean my shoes and boots, but my brush must be a cheap knock off of the brush you have because I buy mine from the local pound shop in the UK. My time in the Navy is responsible for my method of cleaning my footwear and I find that I only use polish about once every week and the brush buffs them up the rest of the time.2. also from my time in the Navy I found that my hair was getting greasy and itchy even thought I had a shower every day. after talking to the doc on board he suggested that I wash my hair in warm water only and try not to get it wet every time, I took his advice and found that my hair problems disappeared and as a side bonus I saved money on shampoo also.

Concerning drying boots that are wet from cleaning or wet work -- I have had tremendous success with the Peet Boot Dryer. Several of us in my family use this boot dryer. It usually takes overnight. I have the basic model, but there are attachments that fit the dryer for gloves, etc. (Just sharing a tip, that nobody asked about, by the time I scanned the comments.) This also worked on my wife's fuzzy slippers after washing because I didn't want to put them in the clothes dryer.

I work as a brick and stonemason, I have tried so many less expensive brands of boots, nothing as costly as nicks boots, I don't get a long period of time out of a boot, like half a year. but the only thing that has ever helped me get longer then a year out of a boot, is taking a toothbrush and thoroughly cleaning all the seams, and then protecting the leather with Dubbin leather conditioner, and doing this on a daily or every other day basis. Masonry products are so caustic. I have tried synthetic nylon boots, by they don't hold up nearly as long to the abrasion. I don't know maybe I am just hard on boots. I would spend the money in a heart beat, for Nicks boots, if I thought I could get at least three years out of it. I just don't know if the leather would be superior to store bought leather, but in your war bag video you mentioned about how they stretch the leather when making gloves to maximize. If there are any masons out there that have had good luck with Nicks boots I would love to hear about it. Any thoughts?

Stinky feet or stinky anything comes from bacteria. Some materials hang onto moisture/sweat and basically become a petri dish. Wool pulls the sweat from your body and dries very quickly even while being worn so it doesn't give bacteria much of a chance to grow and get their funk on. Wool is such a fantastic material. Fire retardant, moisture wicking and stink free, easy to maintain, renewable, retains 70+% of its insulating ability when wet. Cant beat the stuff.

The whole process takes 5 minutes and the shoe comes out like new. Just some food for thought. Thanks for another great video anyways, as always it's a pleasure to watch.

I've worn leather boots since the seventies, one tip you might try is to use Dr Bronners liquid castile soap with a little water. Regular soap and water dry out boot leather because the soap is so hostile towards the leather. Dr Bronners is a natural oil based soap so its much gentler (on your skin as well as on your boots) and does not seem to dry anything out. I use the Baby formula because it has no added scent and has double the olive oil compared to their other soaps. A small amount goes a long way and the Dr Bronner's soap has a lot is uses, just dilute it for the job at hand and it will go a long way.

I typically prefer just straight oil products for maintaining wood/leather products. I am not sure if it is better or worse, but I do not believe these materials need a protective outer layer in most applications, they just need to maintain the correct balance of oils within themselves. And any wax not only sheds water, and not only prevents the material from breathing, but also blocks oil from the material.

Here in the Pacific Northwest coastal range where I hunt, the brush is always sopping wet even when its not raining which it does a fair amount of the time. Why have my boots taken such good care of me for all these years? Cody has hit the nail right on the head. Your boots are an essential tool that demand an attention to care for their proper functioning. I always take pride and enjoy giving my boots the required maintenance for their upkeep.

with high quality boots coming back into fashion with younger blue collar men the ability to clean ,oil/cream and polish boots is priceless. I've got three polish kits from some older gentlemen I know and I've spent many days servicing other people's shoes for 10-20$ a pair so any younger guys watching might want to study up it's worth the time/money to extend the life of your boots. As for waterproofing leather you can get scotchguard treatments to put over your polish and the combination does decently in the swamps of central New York but it doesn't last very long as the boots flex. I'd also recommend throwing a kiwi polish kit in your camping bags or your toolbox for extended jobs in case you cut or tear your boots so you can pack the cut with shoe black to prevent further damage until you can get them repaired.

+James Bonventre I know that Wranglerstar loves his custom made outdoor use boots, but I need something that is very comfortable and cushioning because I work 12 hours a day on concrete floors and steel grading (heavy-duty steel mesh floors). The steel grading has really taken a toll on my body. I have to pivot and twist on the steel mesh and it's really hard on my feet and knees. I put new insoles in my Redwings, but I think it is time to retire them as my full time work boots.

+grantlandneil you might want to go with a pair of whites or nicks boots then(: Redwing has a new line of special job made boots if you want to take a look.

I live in Florida and use Obenauf’s LP. How often would you suggest putting that on my boots? I was told once a month, every other month, 3x’s a year, so what would you recommend along with brushing them off like you are doing?

when the dirt is still wet (at the end of your workday) use your air compressor to get rid of all the dirt. Makes good work especially on the soles. Very easy and quick. Or use some water and a brush, and then quickly dry it with compressed air. Gets your seams and sole clean in no time.

Did you say to put the cream inside of the boot? With the leather laces I've notice that they get a long flat spot in them is that normal?

How about lanolin? I bought new pair of Redwing Iron Rangers, and greased the inside real good with that, then put my feet in plastic shopping bags, and then into the boots, and wore them around the house. This caused the leather to accept the lanolin real well. I think lanolin is good for leather, and it's fairly cheap.

Anyone know anything about Daoust Ruf-rider Calk boots? I've recently come across a pair and I can't find anything on Daoust Calk boots online. Any info would be much appreciated!

The only place I would differ with this video is with the false tongue. This is the only part I ever scrub with soap, why? They usually end up with packed dirt and oil, and I do not want this rubbing on the boot itself. There fore I scrub with a brush and soap then rinse till the tongue is clean. Lay it out to dry, then Obbenauf until soft. To me it is sacrificial leather and is cheep to replace compared to the damage the packed in dirt will do.

On one of JK Boots videos they advise not to put oil on the heal stack and midsole as it causes separation and to not put oil on the hardware as it rots the leather in time and the hardware can pull out. I’m guessing you have never had this happen considering your whites where nearly 20 years old?

+Wranglerstar I'm sure you may have done a video on it in the past and I know it doesn't have anything to do with this video, but I just got the gransfors bruks small forest axe and I love your belt sheath/holster for your axe and I was wondering if you could point me to a video you have done or if you haven't if you might consider making a video about your sheath. Thank you!
