@pepleatherlab38722 жыл бұрын
I recommend the same. Conditioners contain oils will will resist dye from absorbing properly and can make the color hazy and splotchy. It makes more passes necessary for color fast. I typically apply two coats of Fiebings directly after the fine sanding so the color goes deeper and richer. After it dries, then I begin conditioning to regain something similar to the original luster.

This video is so fantastic. I have a pair of docs with really soft leather so they're a little more high maintenance. I got them when I was in middle school and didn't know how to take care of them. I found my grandpa's old boot cleaning kit and learned how and now I clean them routinely. It always makes me sad to see people with worn-down leather shoes knowing that it's not that difficult to take care of them, alot of people just don't know how.

Cool, although unless you're using DM's to kick rocks around or sandpaper or similar it's unlikely the tops will ever get that bad before the soles literally wear through to your socks so this process isn't generally gonna be necessary. However, are any of these products any good at preventing the cracking that happens where the toe box meets the first set of eyelets? Kinda where the crease is where the boots bend as you walk. That's a real problem. The DM's 'wonder balsam' is hopeless and so is standard boot polish, maybe some of the products shown here might work better.

those look great after the restore. The one thing I noticed though is it seems like a lot of the stitching on the heel and ankle was broken, so while they do look great now they are eventually going to need to be restitched because I don't see that heel/ankle lasting very long before the stitches start popping out. It's probably going to be more cost efficient to just get a new pair at that point.

I just bought Renovateur/Creme D'or/Pate De Lux for my own Docs. Mine are Made in Englands so they're a bit more expensive than the average pair, but the trio was about 70$ after tax. The rags are just cotton and you can use old tshirts as do many boot enthusiasts. My saddle soap I purchased for my Red Wings was about 12$ and the brush was maybe around the same? Decent shoe trees are around 20$, so all in all you'd probably spend around 110$ or so? Not bad for keeping your leather healthy and happy! That said, Saphir is absolutely not necessary for boot care and you can get a boot cleaning routine for around 30-50$, to be honest.
