Leather laces aren't brittle at all if you fully saturate them with oil. I soak my laces in oil to the point they're dripping, then I hang them for hours, next I cake them with a homemade beeswax and castor oil mixture. They end being a little sticky, but they're super durable.
Nicely done and explained, Killian. I put my boots and the LP in the sun for a little warming before applying it. No extra work and lets the paste soak right in. I'm betting you do the same on occasion.
Thanks! I was actually thinking of going the kevlar route on the laces. I really dig the traditional vibe of the leather, but caring for and replacing 7+ pairs of boots worth of laces does get old.
@@sergior.carreno5568 Maybe after a very long time but I personally didn't see anything like that. I sold both my boots a while back and neither had any premature wear.

I treat my hardware the same way.
Nice boots! They really did drink up that oil! haha

Masterful!
Those will last you a lifetime with the regiment your using.
i always put a little oil or lp on the area around the eyelets and hooks. never had an issue.
I have one pair of these on order on brown. Same 55 last. They look awesome.
You're gonna love them. They feel super lightweight and flexible compared to a classic configuration Nicks boot.
Awesome.. I got the 55 last because of your video. The heel looks amazing, not too pronounced, but supportive.
Thank you for your videos.
Que hermosa bota esa que marca son

Thanks, Rick! 100% on warming stuff in the sun... granted that was a lot easier in Southern CA than central Europe, haha.
If I may suggest, dump the leather laces. Paracord, kevlar, cotton, etc. are all better than leather when it comes to laces. Great video!

@@CyclingSasquatch I have IronLaces on my Tactical Boots and Urban Loggers. Simply unbeatable laces.
@@Totemparadoxi read that ironlaces eat up the brass eyes and hooks ., i havent used mine yet.
What is your experience?
