It's winter boot time

Very nice well worn in. A bit on mink oil wouldn’t go amiss on the toe caps though.

Perhaps a minority opinion, but I preferred the original colour. Did you want to darken and shine the leather?

Red Wing shoe cream with neats foot oil maintains colour without shine, although I slap any old stuff on my boots, Kiwi wax, dubbin, cream, stuff for my Altberg walking boots and have now pretty much wrecked the briar oil slick finish.

Thats Redwing mink oil ive applied. Itll dry out the excess removed and in a year they will look like they did in first picture which is nothing like the original colour. They age beautifully
