HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015

[toddjcoley]

Was wondering if anyone is planning on doing a boot care segment. I am pretty new to the world of leather boots.  On the viberg website alone there is viberg leather preservative, neatsfoot oil, arctic dubbin and huberd’s shoe grease.
I know you can use saddle soap to clean and I have seen others use mink oil for leather care? So whats what, when do I clean, when do I condition and what can I protect my boot from eg water, beer.

Boot care thread Todd… ^^

I have read that before and I don't think the info there is that great. Some posts at the end are ok, but I think with the knowledge here the great minds could come up with some great info. When I am sinking $700 into a pair of boots I want to know what I am doing.

The only thing I'm putting on my boots is spilled beer and the blood of my enemies.

I feel sorry for your neighbourhood cats

I love the neighbourhood cats. It's my cat that I hate.

Just polished my boots for the 4th time after the 18th wear, they are starting to look real shiny!

Can't wait to see everyone boots tomorrow!

[Nerkg]

Yea, me too! I wonder should I post the pictures new and after 20 wears at the same time tommorrow?

[fanya]

@Nerkg - mad jelly, I was thinking about the brown trench boots but I wanted something in black, when I'm ready for a pair of brown (I rarely wear brown) I'll be looking that direction.

[fanya]

^^ I'm going to post my new shots and wait for the day to settle and the next day post current ones, but that's just me.

I never got new pictures, I got them on day 12 of wear, I thought the contest had already begun, oh well, day 12 is close enough.

I've had boots to polish before so I've been a bit obsessive about it so far, my parents think I'm crazy, I told them the initial break in is the most important

Reminder to post up your boot pics tomorrow for the big kick off!

I'm thinking of changing my boot to:

Too dressy?

[Nerkg]

No chance against my natty cxl. Haha
