this guy builds hiking boots. he must know whats good for them. i use this stuff regularly, works like a charm. and the instruction that smaller treatments more often is better than slobering it on less regularly, is very important.

I've always used KIWI camp-dry MINK oil on my leather work boots. I work my boots really really hard they get: muddy/dirty/wet/dusty/dry conditions all in the same day (landfills, construction sites, inside of dumpsters etc etc) which destroyes the leather. I apply mink oil about twice a month. A pair of 130.00 boots lasts me about 6 months.

I have put Mink oil on other boots. I think it is smelly and it leaves them greasy. Ok for work boots but these boots are gonna be worn as daily boots.
ya know, wedding, funerals and what not.
Ummm ok, wearing loggers as dress boots (scratching my head)?
Seriously?

This thread needs to be a sticky!!!!!
Yes. Kind of like an OIL thread. Technically it is. I'm still waiting for the ground to get exposed so I can break in the recently greased with every kind I have because it really doesn't seem to matter Kuliens. They are shiny enough right now to wear for an evening out. Somebody too noisy in the seat in front of me at the movies? A gentle nudge in the back of the head with a Kulien.

Same here. When I was a kid my dad would bring home sheep tallow and we'd
heat it up on the stove and grease up every piece of leather in the house except our good shoes. That seemed to work as good as anything.

limmer grease does leave them looking a little greasy but you can wipe off the excess with a rag and it leaves a decent shine.
and whats wrong with loggin boots in church anyways? i wear logger heels so my feet are used to having the heel. i try walking in sneakers or loafers or dress shoes and trip all over myself. i have a pair of motorcycle boots that i wear for dress occasions but they have the heel and a steel toe so the weight and balance is right. and i have a set of cowboy boots i got married in. they have the heels, but not steel.

When I bought a pair of Hoffmans bought their recommended Boot dressing made by Obenaufs. Ive always heard good things about this boot dressing seems to work good. Ive always heard not to use oils as it softens the leather to much. Just my2cnts

When I got my first pair of Vibergs they came with a can of Huberds Shoe Grease, which I have used since. Seems to do the job.
