hi @trail and arrow , I cleaned the boots with an eraser to remove the excess dirt then applied dubbin, in this case wrens neutral dubbin. the dubbin is applied to the boots using a cloth and rubbed into the leather until it is absorbed. i also used a toothbrush for the hard to reach areas. once the dubbin is applied it can be further absorbed into the leather with the aid of a hairdryer (the same method used to help the after market wax absorb into the millerain cotton fabric of belstaff & barbour jackets when re-waxing them).

@tmg:
Quite like how that changes them, are you planning on treating the shafts or leaving as is?
@tmg , at this point i reckon i will leave the boots as is, for two reasons;
1. i dont want dubbin on the inside of my jeans
2. i plan to avoid deeper water that would otherwise soak the untreated parts -

Xpost from the WAYWT thread. Navy shell service boots.
Don't wear these as much as I should.
Those look amazing. The color is out of this world and I'm a big fan of the cap toe.
-
those are nice @Hereforthebeer here's a bit more blue collar make up (at lest i'm 99% sure these are Vibergs & not a cruel joke being played on me:
got them from ebay as the seller was willing 2 accept a much lower price than their bin price.
They also had this on them:
but I removed them with a safety razor with just a bit of effort a almost zero scaring on the boot. bobcats r my fav vibergs
-
How much lower did they go? I've been watching the same pair in my size for awhile. Just been hesitant due to hating the soles. I would def need to get those switched out.

I find them top heavy, dislike the pattern, and hate the soles. But otherwise perfect.
