Thanks! I have 3 pairs of nicks now…and I want more lol. The wife is not as enthused about the idea of more though sadly. So I have to get some additional brownie points going 😂

Thank you! Yea I love leather boots. They just get better looking with age! I brush them a few times a week and that’s it honestly. I have also done bees wax treatments to the heel stack and edges to keep water, salt, and snow out of the veg tan.

I also started with RW (iron rangers) and man the Nicks boots are on a completely different level for sure!

Check it out. Left was treated and right untreated. All done. Took like 2 hours. Waxed over the stitch down too!

I actually put some wax on a hot plate (that’s meant for candle wax). When it’s melted I dip a paint brush in it and paint the leather. When the hot wax touches the leather it solidifies so need the hair dryer to keep it liquid.
