I know this is months later and a bit late but you need shoe trees to help keep wrinkles to a minimum. Also you need to hydrate those with a conditioner instead of a polish.
not really the kind of leather I would wax to a shine, I would have just cleaned them and sprayed with water repellant. Next time you might pick up some shoe cream instead of wax, it will give you a lower sheen instead of a glossy shine.
Be careful with the brush and colour of the polish. I rubbed too hard with plain brown polish rubbed big pale patches onto them. It took what was left of the beeswax off and they look like shite! Ugh. Dark polish with a soft rag or sponge is the way to go. Conditioner will help if you have some.
A new pair of laces would really complete things. Waxed, round laces. Mustard yellow if you want some color. Even a pair of raw edged leather laces once the polish and sheen starts to fade off and they return to their original look.
Great job bro, just a couple recommendations. Get shoe trees and use them. It will keep wrinkles to I minimum. Also use a shoe cream instead of a wax, it’ll hydrate the leather, and dessert boots shouldn’t shine, but building a patina which the cream will do for you.

Nice job! exactly what i was looking for! I have the exact pair. Looking forward to resurrecting mine.
they looked better in the before picture.
I like mine all beat up . They are my walking the dog boots.
I just use petroleum jelly to maintain the look, it also keeps the leather hydrated

I like the worn out look honestly
What
I like mine all beat up . That's what they are for . Dirty park walking . I have very nice leather boots for going out .
Bickmore bick4 doesn’t darken leather. You could use acetone to strip off the wax the next time round
It costs like a new pair of shoes
Cool, I'm going to do it with mine, but you don't look like a clarks guy tbh 😅
First good try! Rock that shyyyt, but always spitshine that tip with some Saphir Mirror gloss, Dayummm that shyyt will pop!
Good Job! It became like a formal shoes 👟👟...
You could buy them in Tan leather. Desserts in Tan leather are cheaper than beeswax. About bushacre, I'm not sure.
Damm dude treat em to some new laces! 😂🤣💀 Good job tho buddy!
Deserts with the rubber sole are lifetime shoes. There's a hole in my crepes from wearing it on the hot summer road. For suede vinger sponge to clean.

Instead use a shoe tree to remove the wrinkles
Actually man the end result gage these a real nice formal colour look. Looks more expensive
With ironing doesn't the leather expand. Thanks
Great work!
Good Job! Cheers mate
Thank you 🙏🏼 and cheers
Excellent vid!
Those look better man
You should change their color named desert for a reason
I have the same shoes and nearly same condition
they look much better and cooler before than after.
Papá esas botas están como nuevas.
