Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After extensive experimenting and caring for 7 pairs of Red Wing boots, I have found that you should only use this on leather that gets a lot of use. The oil goes rancid and smells and ends up rotting the stitching, if you do not wear through it regularly. I use it on my several pairs work boots, but would never use on my casual boots again. For non-work wear, just get a leather conditioner not made from animal by-products. I'd also recommend only using leather conditioner on already waterproof boots, as thats all Mink Oil does that leather conditioner doesnt. Other than that, the 3.5oz can has finally reached its last little bit after 16 months of conditioning many pairs of boots on an as-needed basis(monthly for some, every 3 months for others). I attached a before and an after picture of my Red Wing Postman Oxfords. They darkened a bit, but have already started getting lighter after (2) 8-hour shifts of non-stop standing, walking, and throwing 80lb concrete bags onto a cart until it is at 1600lbs for me to push. It will also buff out most of the damage from funning into my shoes with the wheels.
