- NEUTRAL/ CLEAR POLISH: Works good on non-suede leathers and is especially
good for multicolored shoes.
- MINK OIL: This is good for waterproofing and protecting most and kind
of leather except suede. Moisturizes leather and softens it. But, applying
mink oil to leather will darken the leather temporarily. As time goes
by the leather will lighten back up. Allows leather to breathe.
- NEATSFOOT OIL: Has very similar properties and does about as good
of a job as mink oil but is easier to apply. Allows leather to breathe.
- HUBBADRS SHOE OIL/ GREASE: For waterproofing non-suede leathers this
does the best job. It doesn't really moisturize leather but it each
treatment lasts the longest and is its a very effective water proffer.
Darkens leather. Grease is harder to apply but lasts longer. Allows
leather to breathe some what.
- SNOW SEAL: Excellent for snow pack boots. Being a bees wax, Snow Seal
completely seals up the pours in leather. Works alot like putting a
plastic bag over your shoe. Doesn't allow leather to breathe.
- WATERPROOFING SPRAYS: For suede leather, or most any leather, this
is the best choice. Some sprays contain silicone and work better but
will dissolve the dyes in colored shoes. Make sure you read the label
to make sure is says "color safe". If its applied to clean
leather, it works good helping to keep shoes cleaner longer. Silicone
will darken leather permanently but will allow leather to breathe.
