Dirty Old Work Boots – Smooth Leather
An old, dirty pair of work boots, like these:
…can be brought back to life in 3 steps:
- Wash off most of the dirt with a mild soap (Dawn) and water
- Remove the laces and clean well with saddle soap
- Condition with a conditioner such as Huberd’s or a Cream Polish such as Meltonian
OPTIONAL
The rest of the steps are just for a good look
- Use a hard wax polish such as Lincoln to create a high shine, especially at the toe
- Use an edge dressing such as Fiebing’s to dress up the sole and heel
- Swap out the laces for a bright color to bring attention to the boots
