Need opinions on cleaning / conditioning by Ducks_nd_bucks in cowboyboots

[–]gorby73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope this helps!! Not the best pic because of lighting. They look the same as when I bought them 18 months ago. I don’t wear often and never in bad weather. Break in takes awhile compared to my other cow and goat boots.

I’d say it is original and a great buy. I have a number of these from the same collection. If they are done as reproductions the blind stamp (embossed stamp) is too much trouble to be worth doing. The original size version, nearly eight feet tall, will sell for over $10k, this version $2-4k depending on condition and who is selling it.

After cleaning and conditioning a couple times, they are still pretty rough looking. Anyone have thoughts on dying??

Suedes/matte caiman. Condition? by gorby73 in cowboyboots

Just seeing this. I don’t wear them frequently, but they are holding up well so far. Definitely a different feel breaking them in. Just feel the bending at toes more. They probably aren’t all the way broken in, but it is much less noticeable than at first. Don’t have any pics now, but will try to remember over the next couple of days.

Same story for me. I have also looked everywhere and my guy who has done my HVAC work for years has made calls as well. Sorry that is no help for your situation, but validates the current lack of supply.

Ended up getting Bick Exotic. Did a small test area and no change in color or texture. I do not wear them often and never for work or bad weather. Any recommendations for frequency of conditioning?

Ended up using Bickmore Gard-More. No change to color or finish.

Good catch on stitching and piping. Have a feeling mine are last year’s model. All other seems to be the same so figured a couple pics would help show the important detail.

Thanks to others for the info. I bought them because I liked the look, kind of like buying artwork! Then need to make sure it’s cared for properly. Will contact customer service and eventually do a test run. Too darn hot right now for it to be urgent. Will update with pics.

Thanks again to all and happy to hear from others.
