bmth chris[TK] Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I was wondering if anyone knew if it was safe to use saddle soap on your boots? Ya know, just to relax the leather and make it not so stiff. I would imagine it would help with calf armor fitment as well. Any help is appreciated. I own TK boots btw.

humperdingle Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 It kinda depends if the leather (assuming they are actually leather) boots have any sort of coating, i.e. PU coating, wax, whatever, which would effectively repel anything you apply.<br><br> The ingredient in saddle soap which might help, is glycerine. To soften leather, I tend to use something called "Aussie Leather Conditioner'", which is a blend of various stuff, but mainly neatsfoot oil and beeswax.<br><br> To be honest, just working the leather in question with the fingers, bending, flexing etc, will help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmth chris[TK] Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I was thinking of wrapping rubber bands around the tops of the boots so they don't poke out of the calf armor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
