Oiled Leather Needs Feeding, Not Polishing

Oiled leather is not the same as the smooth leather on a parade shoe and it does not want the same treatment. It needs its oils replacing as they dry out, and a wax polish sits on top rather than going in. Feed it and it stays supple and water resistant. Neglect it and it dries, stiffens and eventually cracks across the flex points.

How To Use It

Get the dirt off first, because anything you leave on you are about to rub in. Then a drop of gel on a clean cloth, worked into the leather in circles, and leave it to dry. That is the whole process. It takes five minutes and it is the single highest return maintenance job in your kit.

All Colours

It suits any colour of oiled leather, so one pot covers black boots, brown boots and everything else on the rack rather than needing a tin per pair.

The Rest Of The Kit

Polish, brushes and laces are all in our footwear and boot care range. If you have just bought a pair of boots, buy this at the same time and use it before the first wear rather than after the first soaking.

Frequently asked questions

What leather is this for?

Oiled leathers, which need their oils replacing rather than a wax coat on top. It is not the right product for a smooth parade shoe finish.

How do I use it?

Clean the dirt off first, then work a drop in with a clean cloth using circular motions and leave it to dry. Five minutes, start to finish.

Do I need a different pot for brown and black?

No. It suits all colours, so one pot does every pair on the rack.

How often should I use it?

Whenever the leather starts looking dry or dull, and always after a proper soaking. Ideally before the first wear on a new pair.
