Can you fix over conditioned, over oiled, over treated boots? The answer is yes, and you likely already have everything you need! Over saturating leather with conditioners and the like is just as bad as not treating them at all. In this video I show you how to reset your boots to (close to) their original condition. Thanks to Smiths All Natural for showing me this technique!

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I’ve been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it’s best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that’s where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don’t care where it’s made as long as it’s made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.

Where are we regarding Saddle soap? I have a pair of Irish Setters that need to be revived
Unless you really need your boots to be as water resistant as possible and you dont care about the color changing ALOT, i implore everyone to never use a beeswax, or any wax for that matter, based conditioner. It will fuck your shit up irreversibly. Bick 4 is the best conditioner with the least amount of color change.
Just so I understand, the only issue that comes with over conditioning is changing the color of the leather? Sorry kinda new to this and im just trying to understand. Doesnt more conditioning mean better water/weather resistances and longer life?
That sound around the 3:20 mark is hard, anyone know the name?
Better use a natural curd soap for degreasing. And try if your brush isn't too hard. Don't put dishwasher on your boots! gives a shitty smell plus those things can weaken the grain or destroy the leather if they're too aggressive…
Great vid. I darkened my Thorogood Roofers and lost that beautiful reddish brown color. Will try this once the Smith's arrives!
Before I watc, my answer is soap? Then towel it off…I’ve heard saddle soap can be astringent so wouldn’t cleaning it with soap and water then PROPER CONDITIONING work?
Juat work in them walk in them
Personally, I don’t think you should be worried about your boots changing shades. Obviously do your research and try to get the right materials before you start- but your boots are going to change color over time. Makes your pair more unique.
Annoying music
I wish i knew these problem you guys have with your boots. Sounds like most of the people need to just be buying shoes.
I picked up a second hand pair of Redwing 875's and used dawn powerwash and it worked perfectly then reconditioned them.
Is there more to over conditioning than just looks? My 606s are for straight up work, don't care about looks one bit and I want em to last so I oil the heck out of them with mink oil. Is this bad?
I know this is an old video, but I just did this to my first pair of JK boots that I had gone a little too crazy piling up. Worked wonders.
Leather oil is better on lighter lesthers
any suggestions on over conditioning Ariat turbo slip on waterproof mostly in the desert all day around alot of lawn chemicals so I try to rinse them off daily
Your filter looks hideous.
could you use saddle soap rather than normal soap?
Screw it, I'm gonna eat it.
Anybody know if over conditioning is bad for leather? I think all my shoes are over conditioned with dubin
I just got new amber harness red wings and spilled water on them and got 10 darkened bits where the water dropets were despite wiping it as soon as i noticed. How can I get rid of them without darkening the boots? I have lexol leather cleaner and bick 4.
You were very tempted to eat some of that conditioner.
