Saddle soap for boots

[bmth chris[TK]]

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.

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.

As Mark said, pending on the boots/leather.... TK Boots are perfect in my eyes. (looking at getting a 2nd pair already.)

I was thinking of wrapping rubber bands around the tops of the boots so they don't poke out of the calf armor
