Just got my first pair of Blundstones for Christmas from your store! Used the nikwax and am wearing them around the house to break them in. This was a great video on how to treat your Blundstones! Thanks!
Hi! I'm a Blundstone guy. I have been for years. I use Nikwax twice a year, but I also go a bit beyond. I also regularly condition and shine my Blunnies. I condition and shine with Lincoln products. I've had my favourite pair of stout brown chisel toes for close to 10 years now. They are finally starting to break down in the outer heel areas. They have been amazing. I'm sad to eventually let them go because they are original "Made in Australia" quality. I just bought a pair for my bride. They are the "Made in Vietnam" quality. We will have to see how that fares. All the best!
And? Did they last?
To keep your Blunnies smelling fresh, spray them with 75-25 water/vinegar every few days. Inside and out
I was told vinegar is way better for cleaning them than water
This was awesomely informative! Thank you so much!
Hi! First of all thank you so much for this very informative video! I recently bought a pair of Blundstone 587 (rustic black), so in nubuck, I applied a waterproofing spray that I regularly use for my Clarks (which are suede) but reading the information on the back it says that the prolonged use may cause cracks in the leather. I was wondering what kind of product can I use to keep the leather of the Blundstones supple and soft? It really wouldn't be a problem it they were to darken a little, they're maybe too light for my taste now, so would the Nikwax be enough? is it a conditioner too, other than a waterproofing product? Thank you so much in advance.
also bought the same. any thoughts since? since they're almost like nubuck, how do we condition them?
Great looking boots
hey !
I have the 585
one question about the cleaning because it was a bit unclear to me.
as well with a damp cloth or should i do something else ?
I cannot find the cleaner nix on your website
Bought my first pair of Blundstones. Waterproofed them & they're awesome. Thanks for this tutorial. Is there any way that I can get the Nikwax waterproofing wax at a store (Duane Reade, etc.)??? I live in New York City.
+DANIEL AFFEN Nikwax has a useful dealer locator on their website. You should be able to find a retailer near you: www.nikwax.com/en-ca/stockists/index.php
Of course, if you ever find yourself visiting Peterborough, Ontario, Canada... we hope you will drop by to say 'Hi!' :)
Do i need to buy the mink oil/nikwax for the black 510 bluns, or the renovation black cream and waterproof spray of blundstone are sufficient?
Can I use Nikwax liquid, water based conditioner on Blundstone's #268 rustic brown premium leather lace up boots? The Nikwax conditioner states it is intended for use on "full-grain leather," and I am not sure if my boots are full-grain leather, nubuck, etc.
Here's the link to the Blundstone boots I have:
www.blundstone.com/shop/rustic-brown-mens-or-womens-premium-leather-lace-up-boots-style-268
and the Nikwax product I am referring to: www.amazon.com/Nikwax-Liquid-Leather-Conditioner/dp/B00669QNZA
The 585’s aren’t Nubuck.
What kind of leather are the 585 rustic brown? Im curious
Good to know about the nikwax vs mink oil. Hve you heard anything about Montana Pitch-Blend? A blend of Pine pitch,mink oil and beeswax? I wonder if this will also soften and stretch the leather? Fo now I think i'll go with the nikwax.
What brand of Mink oil is best to use in general, or for nubuck -1351? I can't quite see in the video which you're using. Is it Angelus or Tana? I read Angelus application only lasts a week but it doesn't change the color of boot, and it doesn't have a smell or need to be heated to apply. I wanted your take/recommendation.
I am pretty sure this is Marty McFly's dad..... Anyone else?
Hi. I recently bought a pair of 585 Blundstone. The salesperson told me to get mink oil for my boots. I applied once and I loved how it looks. Does mink oil waterproof the boots? or as you've said just softens it? Should I buy the Nikwax nubuck and suede proof spray and apply it to my boots even though I already applied mink oil to it? Btw, Thank you for the video tutorial! Very helpful and informative.
Hi, thanks for the vid! Question: is the Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof also good for Blundstone 552? I think these Blundstone have suede leather... Should I wet them and use this spray afterwards like you did in the vid with the Nubuck? Many thanks!
Is there a waterproofing solution for the suede blundstones?
Is there any way to remove another wax from your rustic colour ones? I'm pretty upset I went to blundstone's store to get something to treat my rustic brown ones and they told me use Otter wax (which they sold there) not to worry that it will darken but once it dries it goes back to its normal colour. Its been 3 days still hasn't gone back to its normal look. Would really love to get them back to their old look.
Joe Chitussi sorry to say but they aren't returning to the original colour. Made that same mistake and mine have been dark for over a year
I know this is a very late response I’m curious what the rustic brown looks like after using a mink oilor otter wax do you have any pictures?
for a while i thot my right side headphone dsnt work..
Should de same thing for Rossi boots????
Thank you so much for this!
Great vid, thank you!
awesomely informative!
Great video!
Very informative - thank you!
hi there!
i've recently purchased a pair of 585 blundstones (the rustic brown),
and I put a clear leather waterproof conditioner on them,
which completely darkened the boot.
is there anyway i can reverse this or lighten the boot?
i completely loved the rustic look,
but now they are dark brown and i'm so sad.
Hi Krystyna,
Sorry to hear about your Blundstones - eventually a waterproof conditioner that is for oiled leather will wear off but it does take quite a long time (several months).
You could try the Tana Cleaning Block for Suede and Nubuck - it's somewhat of a gritty stone that is used for cleaning nubuck. It will definitely lighten the look of the boot but I'm not sure if it will clean them back to original. It's worth a try though - the product sells for less than $10. I'm not sure where you're from - if you're near us in Peterborough Ontario we do sell the product in our store.
Hope this helps - all the best,
Tony
Hi Tony, thanks for getting back to me! I will try that!!
