@Denman-John thanks for the input, John. Do you mean an actual wire brush or a stiff bristle brush?
I agree..I love the rubbed down leather too. I think the boots are going to look so good when there’s like 30% and more rubbed smooth area.
-
@Mizmazzle It’s an actual small wire toothbrush that I used in small areas where I wanted to”fluff” up the leather a bit. I think I might have got it at the Viberg shop in Victoria, but there is no branding on it so I may be wrong. Works great when needed.

@Denman-John I guess when I think wire brush my mind goes to something like this…which I wouldn’t use on my boots..think I last used this to clean my grill.
-
@Mizmazzle Something like that, but a little smaller and not as mangled
It works well with a gentle touch in spot areas, but I wouldn’t use it on the whole boot by any means. I used it on the toe area once a couple of months after I bought the boots. Since then I have left them natural with a couple of brushing when needed. I was a bit more anal when I first got them, now I embrace the patina.Edit: Looking closer at you pictures again, I would be hesitant to use the wire brush as I was thinking it was a straight rough out leather. Kinda skipped over the part where you mentioned waxy

@Denman-John haha. That brush has been used and abused!
I think I’m just gonna let em get beat down au natural too. Wet cloth wipe down and a dry horse hair brushing seems to work well. Maybe I’ll try some
Sort of rough out conditioner one day. For now…full bore assault!! -

@jfive67 Black shell cordovan that's fading to red on one boot, and green on the other.
