Cool vid. Let me help everyone out a little bit by sharing some tips. Procedure should be. 1. Brush the boot. 2. Clean the leather of the boot with a soap, or cleaner made for leather. 3. Clean the bottom of the sole with a cleaner too. 4. Let dry. 5. Use a leather conditioner (Lexol leather conditioner) to thoroughly coat the leather and rub it in with your fingers, or a rag etc. and also rub it into the nylon/canvas parts of the boot. 6. Use a Vinyl/Rubber conditioner/protectant on the bottom and sides of the soles (especially on vintage soles). 7. Let dry. 8. Nowwwww.... use the Huberd’s Shoe grease (or Obenaufs heavy duty lp) to coat both the leather and the Nylon/Canvas areas of the boot and work it in with a horse hair brush. 9. Let it dry over night. 10. Repeat step 8. 11. Let it dry. 12. Apply the vinyl/rubber conditioner to the outer sole one more time. 13. Let it dry. 14. Polish the boot with a high quality black cream polish (Allen Edmonds Speed Polish, or Allen Edmonds Store Premium Shoe Polish cream, or another quality cream Polish. 15. Brush them again. 16. Walk through fire with them! Check my vids. I walk through how to care for boots.

Saddle soap leather conditioner works good at softening leather. I use it alot on my leather rifle sling for my 1943 issue 1903A3 combat rifle. I am going to need some longer laces for my jungle boots to get to the top hole on the boots eyelets.

@@thIDthIRreenactor My jungle boots are 1970 dated. Funny thing the leather is still soft on them and I got them unissued with the original instructions. These boots were still being used into the 90's by the Air Force before they went back to the all leather black boots. My Dad was wearing his OG107's with the trousers covering the boots. He didn't start doing the blousing till the Woodland BDU's came about.

@@thIDthIRreenactor When my dad was issued his he ditched the Roughouts "Chukka boots" that he was issued in Basic. Those boots were pretty good for the hot climates of Texas but bad for Germany where it was cooler. And let me tell you do not go deer hunting in these boots unless the temps are in the 40's or else your feet will freeze off. My dads boots were issued in the 70's he served from 73 to 93.

Good job on the background music. I think it’s just about perfect now. You naturally speak quietly so your hard to understand and when you talk the music lowers. Keep up the good work.

One or two thing you could do is to put a ziplock or plastic bag inside your boots, completely filled with water and put them all in the freezer, water expands by 10% when they freeze.
