Leather Boot Care

[thompie505]

Bought my first pair of leather hiking/hunting boots. Scarpa Kinesis Pro’s. They’ve got Nubuck Smoothout leather uppers, was hoping for some real world recommendations for leather treatment and conditioner. Nikwax? Sno Seal? Thanks.

I use a natural bees wax for mine

Whatever wax you chose use it often. Before a hunt, after a hunt, before you put them away, when you take them out and especially after they get wet! I feel many boots are wax deprived! I use the kenetrek stuff. My feelings about sno seal is that it isnt adequate.

I use cheap bees wax to clean the dirt out of the leather with a heat gun and paper towels. Then many coats of miendl wax to protect them before and after use.
