      Well, I think it will look better when your friend will oil the rest of the boot.
      That is the reason why I love, yeah I LOVE Obenaufs LP. It smells good, it does it job and dont dark up your boots when it´s fully dried.

        Yeah, those are pretty terrible.

        I think a lot of people read stuff on the internet about how "necessary" it is to treat boots and then, as a result, ruin them with too much product.  A good pair of boots doesn't need anything until they've been through some shit, (literal or figurative) and even then, they don't need much.

            Poor guy… He definitely fell into the trap of unnecessarily slathering stuff on his boots. This is the exact reason why you should hardly ever treat quality leather...

            That said, I don't think they look terrible. I'm honestly a little surprised.... Could be a professional dye job. Lol

              I think it looks horrible - but they were stunning before he started fucking with them, so I have that bias.  😢  I am hoping for his sake they will dry out and lighten up - but I think it's possible whatever he put on them may have stripped off the original brown dye.  Time will tell.

                there was a discussion a few pages back about unlined vs lined. Personally, I really like the way mine are starting to sag which was the reason I went unlined. Here's a couple of pics. They are 4 months old and have been worn more or less every day.

                  I'd think lined engineer boots would feel like you're wearing braces! Btw those are lookin great. Standard Boss last, correct?

                    Agreed. Unlined for comfort and shaft collapse (women love when that happens).

                    Think it, be it.

                        No comfort issues here. The are lined.
