Red Wing Shoes

To anyone with the Hawthorne Muleskinner leather, how have you treated/protected it? i am dying to wear my new pair that i just got in, but i want to treat these prior to wearing them. Any suggestions? i saw online at the red wing site that they have a red wing protector and at another place (brooks brothers) they said mink oil would be a good idea. Can someone please shed some light? i have the Iron Rangers.

All I put on my Hawthornes was the Redwing protector, the mink oil is for the brown or black ones not the ones with roughout leather.

Please don't. These are no hip hop Timberlands that need to be spotless and clean. Hawthornes (at least the Iron Rangers) NEED to look greasy.
Not the best pics but I think you can see what I mean:
Thes were never treated at all. -

Cool story bro. I dont want them to be spotless and clean, i want them to repel water if they can. Gets rainy round my parts and i didnt want to have boots heavier than my denim. And Hip Hop has no affiliation with Timbs. But i suppose that also depends on where you live and how often you see it.
@D97x7- would you say the protectant will help keep some water out?

Yes I think it does, I wear mine while walking my dog over wet grassy farm land and I haven't noticed my feet getting wet at all.
