You need to heat your boots up when applying snoseal. A heat gun or blow dryer work perfect. Heat the boot till the wax dissolves upon contact. Use a generous amount keep heating up and the leather will absorb the wax. Wipe off the excess. The boots will not be sticky or greasy after. While being waterproof

Another advantage to Huberd's, or any conditioner containing pine tar, is that pine tar reportedly protects against insects like ticks & mosquitoes.

is it true that obenaufs is too heavy duty for some leather applications and "seals" it so nothing else can be applied ever again?

@@dynamo3059 Not true. Heavy Duty LP contains beeswax and natural oils. No chemicals or paraffin. Beeswax is known to be breathable (search 'is beeswax breathable' in any browser). Natural preservatives are your best protection!

@@dynamo3059 Heavy Duty LP is a true leather conditioner that penetrates leather to keep it moisturized while providing protection from water and dirt. Most uniform and dress boots are coated with a polymer that seals them off meaning no conditioning oils will penetrate their surface. So apply to real leather (not faux) and to leather items not sealed off with polymers. Check with the manufacturer of your leather items when needed.

I use Sno Seal on my boots and leather gloves. I live in Australia so I just wait for summer, leave the boots and gloves outside for a good part of the midday then apply the Sno Seal. Great stuff and a small tub last for years.

Hey mate- I'm from QLD. Would you recommend Sno Seal for Doc Marten's, not only for weather proofing, but for conditioning (preventing from leather splitting), or is Sno Seal not really for that?
@ThePlim62 Жыл бұрын
@@strange7260 Sno Seal does both. The only negative with Sno Seal is it darkens leather but if your boots are black then that shouldn't be an issue.

Nice video, but personally, I would have benefited from some sort of before and after comparison of the various areas of the boot that you work on. I got a good idea of how the product looks immediately after it’s applied, but i think it would have been nice to see how the boot looked about an hour after, in the various areas which had the products applied...anyway, just a thought...thanks for sharing your thoughts on which products you find to be most beneficial.PS: I may have missed it, but I don’t think you mentioned if any of the products discolored the leather after drying on the boot? I understand that some products have a reputation of discoloring leather.

Not a single dry spot in this video. Love the comparison and contrasting of products. Soothing voice over. Nice sleeve. Thanks dude. Any update on these products? I think I'm getting the huberds shoe grease for my dad's red wing mock toes since he works outdoors in Florida weather. Would you reccomend that or the Obenaufs?
@catfashbelly Жыл бұрын
Awesome video and reviews. Thank you! The only issue I ever had was using pure lanolin. It definitely did soften the leather too much. Luckily that was a pair of pull on boots. If it had been lace up boots I think the eyelets or hooks would have pulled out.

Even if Snow Seal is applied to a warm boot, when the boot cools anywhere it flexes like in the instep it flakes and cracks in an unsightly manner. I prefer the Obenaufs LP.

Great video! I am applying Huberd's Oil today to my steel toe Wesco Jobmaster boots as they are very dry and in need of some conditioning. Would you also apply Huberd's grease after the oil has dried for 24 hours and soaked in? Or is the oil enough? I've used obernouf on several of my other boots but they seem to have a tacky feeling that I don't care for... I'm going to only be using all natural ingredients on my Wesco boots and stay away from any chemicals. Thank you for your time and well made videos! Peace brother!

Mark- Thanks for your kind words. I would definitely apply the grease, and then use the oil as a touch up when they get a little dry. Great to hear from you, and great choice on the Wescos! Take Care- Sean

It's nice to know you think these are all good products, but nothing about the video left me with a feeling for what I should be using? Or much of a feeling for how they differ? Granted that carnuba one was different. Seems like more of a protective shell and looks shinier. And yes, you said Hubbard's has a smell. Different products have different strengths. Some more a moisturizer. Some more a protectant. Some more of a waterproofer. Some more of a cleaner. Some more a rejuvenater. That Saphir Renovateur is great, but it doesn't serve the same purpose as the others? It's more of a rejuvenater. And the Obenauf's oil? I don't understand the difference? I thought I'd read it had mink oil & a darkening effect on leather. But doing some reading I now see that isn't the case. It has the same ingredients as LP? Is it different percentages? And what does between application touch-up mean? If they need moisturizing you moisturize. It doesn't take any longer to do LP than it does oil?

Huberd's, failing to waterproof and yet turn boots into greasy slimy floppy foot bags, for a hundred years. Sorry, just another hipster infatuated with a new fad, boot and shoe care, without having to venture outside and learn what really does and does not work. SnoSeal. Done.
