        i decided to treat my IHVB-03CT boots with dubbin after doing some research on youtube and via forums. the advice is provided by military, x-military and military enthusiast guys treating their rough out boots in the way it was done in preparation for the water and gas filled environments of the conflicts in the first half of the twentieth century.

            Quite like how that changes them, are you planning on treating the shafts or leaving as is?

              hi @trail and arrow , I cleaned the boots with an eraser to remove the excess dirt then applied dubbin, in this case wrens neutral dubbin. the dubbin is applied to the boots using a cloth and rubbed into the leather until it is absorbed. i also used a toothbrush for the hard to reach areas. once the dubbin is applied it can be further absorbed into the leather with the aid of a hairdryer (the same method used to help the after market wax absorb into the millerain cotton fabric of belstaff & barbour  jackets when re-waxing them).

                @tmg , at this point i reckon i will leave the boots as is, for two reasons;
                1. i dont want dubbin on the inside of my jeans
                2. i plan to avoid deeper water that would otherwise soak the untreated parts

                              Those look amazing.  The color is out of this world and  I'm a big fan of the cap toe.

                                those are nice @Hereforthebeer here's a bit more blue collar make up (at lest i'm 99% sure these are Vibergs & not a cruel joke being played on me:

                                got them from ebay as the seller was willing 2 accept a much lower price than their bin price.

                                They also had this on them:

                                but I removed them with a safety razor with just a bit of effort a almost zero scaring on the boot. bobcats r my fav vibergs

                                head high, middle finger higher

                                  How much lower did they go? I've been watching the same pair in my size for awhile. Just been hesitant due to hating the soles. I would def need to get those switched out.
