    I buy and sell boots all the time, definitely do it! Nick’s, Redwings, you name it. You can find some used stuff that’s barely been used at all.

    Inserting shoe trees while the boot is soaking wet will hinder the drying time considerably as the wood cannot absorb that much water and it blocks the air circulation needed for the inside of the boot to dry. It's probably best to allow the inside to be nearly dry before using shoe trees to restore & maintain the boot's shape.

    Great video. Love that you're willing to try new approaches like this. I have a pair of second hand wabasha redwings from eBay that are a tad over conditioned and I'm considering following what you've done. I'll keep you posted on results hehe

    I reconditioned used boots using the peanut oil from my jar :p
    There is literally no downside for now.

    Buying used boots usually requires a resole, and they rarely fit right as they've formed to another person's foot.

    Hi Ryan, I hate to correct something you said in the video but you are one of the best RUclips boot content creators!😃 This was a great video. I buy a lot of boots on eBay. I've never cleaned my boots this way. This was helpful. I get grossed out thinking about the previous own sweating in the eBay boots. Then I think about all times I've worn gross bowling shoes and that's how I justify it to myself to wear someone else's boots.😅

    I'm not a fan of wearing 2nd hand shoes. It's not like a new shoe, that will break in around my foot. Once the shoes have broken in around someone else's foot, it won't be a "good ft" for my foot.

    So you clean and conditioned them 😂. Not exactly a restoration but looks good. Be careful of exposing the insole to a lot of moisture when cleaning. You prob can wipe with a damp cloth and spray some Lysol in there. Also, not recommend to over condition or oil leather laces. They can loose tensile strength, and stretch/snap when being tightened.

    Thanks for showcasing the use of a conditioner on teacore leather! Also, thanks for the idea to condition leather laces. I never conditioned mine. I also washed and conditioned my boots last weekend. Saying that, i used a minimal amount of water with the soap and quickly wiped it away. In addition, I've never considered washing inside the boots. I saw a video once, made bt a cobbler, that showed the corck layer all broken up, with corck crumbs stuck in one part of the boot. He claimed that it was caused by prolonged exposure to moisture. I hope you dried your boots well and fast.

    I stopped wearing/buying anything USED since the 2020 global lockdown pandemic opened my eyes up to the realities of germs and viruses and other dirty things! SMH and I used to love thrift shopping so much before !!!!

    I buy a lot of my shoes from an online website called Willhaben here in Austria, think a much better version of Craigslist!
    I recently purchased from the seller a pair of Red Wing Beckmans ( the old style made in 2018) in what I call shoe shop new as in they have been tried on but otherwise never used. They are still breaking but already I find them so comfortable.
    The second pair in the same condition are a pair of Red Wing work Chukka´s in Blueberry rough out and again, very comfortable despite needing breaking These according to the label were made in October 2010.
    Both pairs came to €200 which is pretty much the same in dollars. They both came with the original Boxes and even the labels from the quality checker at the factory!
