    One of my fondest memories of my Dad comes from the wonderful smell of him polishing his boots and showing me how to do the same. My children say the same about me, so this channel just warms my heart. I need to order some conditioners, creams, because all I have been doing is polishing......but not anymore. Thanks for sharing your passion with us!

    Amazing transformation. The beautiful patina on these boots was completely hidden by all the dust and grime. The owner needs to step up (or just begin) his shoe care game. Easy stuff, just brush them quickly after each use, and hydrate once a month. My Iron Rangers look just like these at the end, that gentle shine. I love that look. Thanks for another great video!

I e-mailed the Potter and Sons contact e-mail on their website with a few questions and Trenton replied personally and promptly. I bought all of the supplies from them to do this and you should too! Competitive pricing, prompt shipping and courteous professional advice. Just to clarify, if you have brown chrome leather Thursday boots, like these Captains or the similar President boot, Trenton clarified with me that he used Saphir Bordeaux color polish on the upper and tobacco on the heel block. Buy from them and keep supporting the channel!

I massaged them inside and out with coconut oil over 5 days and now they look and feel soft and supple as when I got them! I have Bick 4 that I use on my cowboy boots and they look good after I use it but it just doesn't seem to last very long; think I might try coconut oil on them also.

    I like the Saphir Renovateur (and the rest of their line of shoe care products) for dress shoes and small fine leather goods. The larger projects... outdoor leather goods/tack, work boots, automotive upholstery, etc., I prefer the Bick 4 conditioner, and often reach for my Obenauf's leather oil (has some beeswax and propolis in it). Conditioning the leather is a must. Good vid, thanks for putting them out. And, had they not mentioned the fact they sell the Saphir products, I wouldn't've known. Their pricing is fair and you're not gouged on shipping like some ebay sellers. I appreciated that when I stocked up about a month ago.

    • @TrentonHeath
      @TrentonHeath  4 года назад

      RatdogDRB Bick 4 and Obenauf’s are both great products! Like you said, just keeping your boots conditioned is huge. It will definitely extend the life of any leather boot/shoe. Thank you as well for your patronage!

      How have your boots held up?

      @@meistersego pretty good, and I use them like work boots often enough. I have a pair of Dukes as well, but a kick to knock the snow off has caused the toe of the sole to break off (it was quite cold that morning) so that is more an abuse than a failing of the boot.
