White's Boots

Fuck, those are amazing. I've gone back and forth on which leather to get in a pair of nomads. This is swaying me.

And this was them a couple of years ago

^ Love your taste in boots.

[Bluegrass]

Those are amazing, don't see many well-worn Nomads - or many Nomads period…

[aho]

Not to be redundant but damn, those Nomad's are so amazing, they'd be my choice if I were going for engineers that weren't Role Club.

If I were to buy another pair I would not get natural cxl. I'm not keen on this leather. It scrapes and scuffs too easily and is not a great choice for riding a motorcycle.

I agree with you. Pretty much all CXL easily scratches. But if you shine them regularly, which I'm assuming you did, the y age beautifully. I've had two pairs of boots with Natty CXL and it can age badly if you don't take care of it.

Nope never shined them… Not that I can relax all. Do you use neutral wax or tan or what?
I have treated them with obenaufs fairly regularly because they have a pretty hard life. They also have had a few coats of Saphir renovateur

They look absolutely stunning…

SD HH about one year old. Regular but far from daily use.

Those are very nice.  What's your care regimen for them?

[specmvl]

Thank you. Saphir Medaille d`or Pate de Luxe (a regular colorless shoe cream basically)  and a frequently used horsehair brush.

[Chris]

They're what I would consider a perfect example of how proper care makes a pair better looking as they age.

[specmvl]

Was prepared to go the "Obenaufs route" when I bought them. A forum member gave me advice that Obenaufs might soften the leather quite a bit and can make it dull. While I don´t know if that´s true the regular shoe cream has worked pretty good.
