alendil Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 if boots are made of leather put SPORT WAX by MEINDL its natural wax + other stuff but its contain conditioner so they wont crack. or nikwax. in tube. good but need conditioner every 10 weeks.

Penfolio Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) I use Scarpa HS12 on my leather boots. It's much easier to work in than a traditional waxes and unlike the new waterbased nikwax, it also conditions the leather.

alendil Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 dont use dubin its animal fat + thiners it will rot threds and dry leather ( it will crack) i work in outdoors shop and every boot maker will woid garanty after using dubin. BTW if they are goretex dubin will damage membrane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodmedod.one Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I wouldn't recommend Nikwax. I spent ages doing my high leg Danner boots with it. First time out in the wet, the leather was absolutely soaked. I didn't know Dubbin was "harmful" to boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I got some new musto buckden boots today.Whats the best thing to put on them to protect and preserve? They are girls boots. Put them in your handbag or the boot of your Ford Ka when you arent wearing them. Alternatively Screwfix (mans shop) sells these - BOOT PROTECTION FOR GIRLS BOOTS Anyway, I wont keep you, I expect your husband is waiting for his tea :P :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I got some new musto buckden boots today.Whats the best thing to put on them to protect and preserve? I got a pair of Karimor boots from Sports Direct (£45 or so), leather uppers. I use a leather dressing liquid on them. It's a mixture of neatsfoot oil and lanolin. Got it from a tack shop. Apparently horsey people use it for things like bridles and saddles. Goes on well and does the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicykillgaz Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) I use Brasher conditioning cream on my meindl's, I'm surprised they didn't try to sell you anything my wife got some with her buckdens, it was a spray on thing. can't remember what it easy called.

BangBangNik Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 All I use on my scarpa's is good old fashioned kiwi boot polish. They are gortex lined so I assume the waterproof comes from the lining but the polish keeps the leather supple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alendil Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Any other product but MEINDL used on meindl boots will void maindle garante. ( i have to tell that to lot of customers and then duck) YES only goretex lining is waterproof not boot itself. KIWI polish is ok but there is no conditioners in them su will dry leather after while.

BangBangNik Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 KIWI polish is ok but there is no conditioners in them su will dry leather after while. ahhh, cheers for that. i will keep that in mind, might have to get some conditioning product aswell then.

Pidge Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Don't the above products affect the look of what is a nubuck kind of leather and not a shiny one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx4cabbie Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Sno-seal worked wonders on my aussie jacaru suede leather hat, but did affect the look of the suede. Worth it though, nothing gets through now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Snoseal or is it Snowseal an American product which I have not seen in years but very effective on traditional leather boots. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I use both neatsfoot oil and dubbin on my 22 year old Brasher walking boots and they look and feel like new. None of the stitching has rotted and neither has the waterproof membrane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
