              The hardware on my boots is heavily oxidised. Do you have any tipps on how to clean that?

                It's patina. On the contrary, it's cool!

                  Personal advice: don't

                  Partly because @Walery-Smirnoff is correct, it's part of the patina of your boots

                  Partly because of the difficulty of doing so without adversely effecting and/or staining the surrounding leather of the boot. Oxidisation is by its very nature an irreversible chemical process.

                  You're either looking at a polish like Brasso or similar, which will be difficult to apply to small hardware with the vigorousness needed to remove this type of oxidisation without also getting on/in the leather in the local area

                  You could look at chemical solutions but this is likely to be even worse for the above and may even permanently damage the nearby leather

                  Or you could look at some of the home grown solutions like baking soda/lemon juice or vinegar/salt but again, i don't think your walking away without at least some staining - but other users may have more experience on these than i do

                    Ross is spot on here. I'd brush them to remove any loose oxidisation and leave it at that. It's what I do on my RWs.

                        @indigostiff They are amazing. Sadly I think Vasque are finished now and the recent boots were nowhere near the standard of yours

                                while waiting for the Biltbuck 444 in black , I found these awesome Engineers from Addict Clothing. They make 3 different forms of engineer boots , one with a pretty big and bulky toebox , one with a medium and one with a flat toe .
                                my ones are the medium ones , called ST last.
                                it’s horsehide and lined with cowhide.
                                great overall quality with a neat triple stitching!
                                The leather is much softer and a little thinner compared to the 444 which leather is a beast.
                                The only criticism is that they don’t a half sole which I prefer, but that’s of course good for very bad weather.
                                Will post some more detailed pics soon, but here’s a first look into the box 🗃️

                                  ok here some more pics and first impressions after a few days in .
                                  very comfy out of the box !
                                  we’re on holiday and I’ve worn them every day without any problems.
                                  they’re not teacore, which seems to be quite rare at that price range. nothing negative for me though.
                                  here some pics after a few days
