@seawolf haha oh boy...well it is starting to get dark here already so I'll take a look at them in the morning and see how thirsty they look. Are you saying less may be safer? Or to just use my best judgement?

@Oaktavia Use your best judgement. CXL in particular is notoriously stuffed with tons of fats and liquors at the tannery and doesn't need conditioning for 5-10 years. YMMV of course, but you're probably fine with being conservative with it. The leather still needs to be able to breathe.

@Oaktavia Also, to reiterate. Use your best judgement. There's no one right answer for conditioning your boots because there are so many factors to consider, so you just need to look at the leather, feel the leather, and notice how it changes after you condition it, and keep an eye on them for a time, and condition again. You'll start to notice them drying out over time and you'll start to learn how much to use for the next time. Everyone's use-cases, environmental factors, and leathers are different, so it's a little trial in error, and largely varies from person to person. And as I mentioned earlier, as long as you're actually applying conditioner with some sort of regularity, you'll be fine.

Just ordered a pair of Mister Lou in Brown CXL. I was pretty lucky in that I called Wesco to get sizing advice, then was told they have a pair of these in my said size. The person I spoke with said that I should buy a lottery ticket today as well. Lol
