Redwings boot oil

Leather is protected when the elements can't deteriorate it. I have tried almost everything on the market and like the long lasting, deep penetrating protection Redwing boot oil gives my leather gear. I use it on all of my leather. It keeps it protected and waterproof.

I've had good luck with the harley leather dressing. Makes everything shine right up and the leather color blends right in with my black pearl paint . . .

Mink oil should only be used on factory-treated leather boots. Lexol is the way to go. Easily found. Ace Hardware,saddle supply shops and the like.

I use saddle soap on everything leather. Mink oil is my second choice.

The best leather protector/conditioner is URAD,not cheap around 20 bucks,leaves no oily residue like mink oil .dries and seals leather from the elements,I use Lexol and mink oil ,but nothing works better and is EASIER to use than Urad. My pal had an old badly worn leather cap that looked like ****.He tried to bring it back ,with no luck,I used the Urad on it and he was amazed.I also use it on my leather couch,like I said no OILY mess. I bought this originally at Sturgis and it is only available online that I know of.
