    How To Repair and Clean Your Timberland Boots - Timberland Boots are notoriously difficult to clean and even harder to repair because of the Nubuck leather. In this video we got a pair of worn out Premium Timberland 6" to test some of the ways we found of reddit to "Clean and Repair Timberland Boots". ASMR gives us a good excuse to try this style of video because asmr videos are our way of trying new styles of videos and boot care techniques. Timberland ASMR Repair

    Fun fact: dish soap is also useful for most stains. It's strong and binds to grease and dirt while without leaving residue, it's water soluble and it's gentle enough to use on silk.
    I've saved many garments from stains using dish soap, including a wedding dress!

    used to do the sanding on my first pair of these timberlands over 20 years ago. used to use around 180 or 220 grit sandpaper which worked perfect and gave that factory finish. Just decided one day to give it a go myself and it worked perfect. 80 grit is just way too abrasive and 1200 is too fine. somewhere around the 200 mark from memory was perfect for replicating a factory finish like new then just a spray with a good neubuck protectant spray and they looked box fresh again. Still have that same pair of boots too to this day. say what you like about timberland boots, but the original six inch shown here, are what they built their reputation on and some of the best daily boots I've ever had (not talking about construction use here, just general day to day, all day wear in normal conditions).

      Sanding wouldn't work to smooth that back out. Once that top layer is roughed off, that's it. You can however slick the nap back down with some wax or cream polish, but it wouldn't really be nubuck anymore. But hitting them with otterwax or snowseal would have been my final step in this process.

    If you use dish soap, the Timberlands lose their waterproofing, been there done that. Best is to use a bit saddle soap, sand them with 180 sandpaper and cover them with a thin layer of mink oil. And wear them with proud, as old Timba’s are like old Red Wings, the more they are damaged the nicer they are 😀

  • @MOFsquadron

    You can smooth the nap back down with waxes or polish. Otterwax or snowseal would have been my last step in this one. Both to smooth the leather back out a little, and to protect the newly exposed grain from water. A wire brush might have also been effective instead of the rougher. As for the suede kit, the absolute best suede/nubuck eraser is Woly Suede Gum eraser. It works a million times better than the white cheap suede erasers (I have both). The Woly also works on all leathers to remove spots, suede/nubuck/smooth.

    I would add one step at the end. It will change the final look but it will make them last longer. I would have used finer grain sand paper and at the end I would use grease to cover the leather. Then I would polish them using a cloth. I have applied this treatment to a pair of boots I own and I have already used them for longer than 8 years.

    The amount of leather on the table is bigger than what whole boots contain 😂

    Have you ever put back together shoes you cutter in half?

    This almost has an Edgar Wright montage feel.

    Tip: if you dont want creases to appear in ur timbs, i would recommend to clean up the sopa of the area u applied it right after it and then continue with the other parts and do the same.

    That leather rougher was a NO GO. Dude, if you want Timbs to not look like Timbs have at ‘er, but otherwise stick to sandpaper. Jeez.

    Why not sand again at the end to even out?

    I've noticed you haven't really done anything with wolverine boots. I own the cabor EPX boots and I love them even though I do have custome made orthotics in them. Yes I'm cheating.
