As an alternative, I use wax without color on the heel stack and sole edges when the black has faded. Also, the black uppers become dark brown after extensive use and I use a neutral leather conditioner to preserve the "worn" color. It's a super cool look and gives the boots a lot of character.

Understand that if you order customs you're looking at 16-20 weeks when I ordered mine a good two months ago. The try on boots where pretty cool, not the same model or size but they were nice. When I called to talk to the people, the gentleman I talked to was very polite and tried to work me through everything. Timing was not considered and I think it's 16 to 20 weeks from that phone call is when I'm supposed to get my boots. But who knows. Being an oil worker I can't wait to have boots the last me more than a year or two.

I like to make sure everything is warmed up before I start to condition my boots. I stick my boots in front of a space heater and put my can of Huberd's Shoe Grease in a pot of water on the stove. Between those two things, my boots drink the conditioner in much faster and in greater quantity. Unless I go completely overboard as well, the don't feel greasy or oily afterwards, either.

Hi, I have a question about silicone in shoe waxes or oils. I have noticed that now Red Wing Shoe Mink Oil has silicone as well as lanolin. Is there a problem silicone will harm stitching threads? Your advise is much appreciated
@stevenroche9874

The only problem that I have heard about with silicone is drying out the leather, although if mixed with lanolin, this would not be an issue. Silicone will not adversely affect stitching.

Looking at the toe boxes it looks like these could really benefit from some shoe trees. They help push out the toebox creases during cleaning/treating which is hugely beneficial as these are almost always the first failure points in your boot leather

I would condition first with Nicks Leather Oil and follow up with a light coat of Nicks LP. Heat the treated boots with a hairdryer and rub it in thoroughly with your hand while still warm. By the way, use could use edge dressing instead of paste polish. Great video !

Does the heavy grease prevent the leather from breathing as well as before, thereby causing your feet to get hotter and sweater?
