Restored 23 year old Doc Martin’s
I’ve had these Doc martins for 23 years. Yes. 23 years. I got them as a birthday gift for my 13th birthday. And if anyone knows anything about the 90s paying for a pair of shoes was huge. My mother practically threaten my life, that if anything happened to these shoes I wouldn’t live to the next year. So of course I kept them I kept them through moves through colleges through adulthood. In January I wore them on a girls trip to Scotland and realized how beat up they were. About two weeks ago I saw a BuzzFeed article about this product so I thought why not and I used it. The shoes look like they did on the day that I got them. This product has restored 23-year-old doc Martins to look like new.
My 2 cents!
For those of us in the workforce who wear leather boots in all weather, and have done so for years, we know how nice, and important it is to 1, take care of our boots, and 2, keep your feet dry.
To those just entering that workforce, first, welcome! Second, now that you have your boots, the secret to keeping them for years, nice, supple, and looking good, is oil and clean them.
This will take care of your oiling needs, and help with break in time. Your feet will thank you.
To keep them dry, sure, you can try other sealers, or preservers, but they won't last long. This stuff is a true blue water proofer for leather, and the only one I buy, or recommend.
As a bonus, boot stink? Ha! Not for me! My misses doesn't complain one bit with this good stuff!
To each their own though, and good luck!
Darkened boots a bit, but makes them look new again
Worked great on my leather boots. See the before/after picture I have posted.
I did not notice any smell, good or bad.
Be careful not to put too much on your leather; a little bit goes a long way. You have to wipe off the excess after you apply it, so if you apply too much, it's just more to wipe off later.
Boom Cha! My boots have been born again!
At first I freaked because this made my boots so much darker than I was used to. Then I realized “oh this is what they used to look like before the California sun sucked the life out of them”. Freaking amazing. I took my time and applied like I would if I waxed my car to avoid streaks or stains. My boots are refreshed and new looking! Very happy!
The fountain of youth
I’m glad I bought this product. It gave life to my boots from Rockport again. I was using my pair of boots constantly for more than half a year, and I hadn’t given them the correct care. Some parts of them had already gotten scuffed up and the color faded. I had heard from a Youtube video that “mink oil” can protect boots , and I went straight to Amazon to get it.
I haven’t tried enough other brands in order to make a fair comparison, however this product has done a good job. I took a picture before and after applying it, and the differences are very evident. They did get a bit darker, but it’s nothing too different from the real color they had before. I saw that my boots were faded in some parts more than others, and therefore I didn’t think that the colors would be equal after I applied it. However, I was wrong, the color is now uniform over the leather, and the scuff marks were covered up. They look like the first time I took them out of the box.
Obviously this product doesn't do miracles, so if you're a person like me who wears his boots almost everyday then you've got to apply this mink oil to yours more often.
I’ve also got to mention that, I did notice a slight smell that reminds me of fallen dry leaves when they get wet on a rainy day. In spite of that, the scent does go away after the oil is applied on the boots.
Overall, good product and I’m pleased with the results.
Works as advertised
Great stuff, it definitely restores a lot of scuffs and damage, and conditions the leather. I would definitely recommend if you want to restore/waterproof worn work boots, or *LIGHT BROWN/TAN* worn and scuffed casual boots or shoes. I cannot stress that enough. This definitely will darken your boots or shoes. My boots went from brown/tan, to more of a Chestnut brownish color. However, I think that looks awesome. They look fantastic. For my dark brown Chelsea boots, it turned them almost black. Which actually, looks pretty cool too. I also can't stress enough that if you're unsure about how dark it shall be, try applying it on the heel before anywhere else. I let mine dry, and then used a horsehair brush to buff off any excess residue. If you find that you're not too happy with the color, it shall fade overtime, or provided, the mink oil is dry - you can always use pigmented shoe polish to restore/dye the leather back to its original color.
Good lard
Product is as advertised and works very well both restoring and waterproofing smooth leather. I used 1/3 tbsp of it emulsified with hot water in a spray bottle for 8 yr old stiff suede ugg tazmons and it worked the same majic even restored black color was greying. Msds shows 5-15% mink oil content with the major balance being tallow. Its the real deal don't be fooled by others claiming mink but selling neatsfoot.
Excellent product! Goes on and wipes off very easy
Excellent product! Goes on and wipes off very easy. It is exactly the same type of product that other expensive brands use, but this one is greatly priced. It does darken the leather a little at first, but my shoes when back to the original color once it dried...Definitely would buy this product again.
Been a truly successful purchase (or gamble) for me!
Pros:
Doesn't have an overwhelming smell (I also use gloves!)
Easy to use
Clear directions
A nice size package - I have done 18 purses and 14 pairs of shoes, a leather jacket, and I still have about 1/3 of the jar left
Protected some of my purses from the rain spots they get, now those spots roll right off
Perked up my shoes nicely, I did add some hair dryer heat to a few of them and that set it in well
Waterproofed my flats and ankle boots for a recent trip to rainy ireland and my feet were dry and the leather actually stayed perfectly intact with no damage after 17 days.
Used paper towels and also rags, both work well
Used with or without heat, both work well (heat does shrink up your leather back to original form a bit better though and the shoes feel fresh!)
Makes my jacket and leather flat shoes SO SOFT!
Cons:
I don't like my hands greasy so I used gloves
There is an odor but it isn't as pungent as many
Cannot tell if there are other ingredients added to this that would possibly dry out leather (several months later my leather is not dry or cracked at all)
Verdict: I did read and see all of the mixed reviews on using mink oil. For hours I read and debated with myself about using this at all. I am glad that I took the gamble after all. I am on crutches permanently and depend on the durability of leather products more than anything else, which also means I use leather in all weather. This has solidly improved the leather that I have over six months into using and I am pleased.
U
se on work wear
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 doesn't.
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 running into my shoes with the wheels.
