Huberd Shoe Grease Co.Huberd’s Shoe Grease (7.5oz) - Leather conditioner and waterproofer since 1921. Waterproofs, softens and conditions boots, shoes, bags, belts, jackets, car seats, gloves, furniture, saddles and tack.

Works well. Softens Lester boots. Has a clean odor like a mix of outdoors and leather.Easy to apply with rag, then brush off with buffing brush.It WILL DARKEN leather. If you have tan boots they will form more like the brown when wet.It’s a thin oily jelly product. Like a thin and oily gel ointment.Will revive old leather to look new. softens and makes water resistant.I like the new dark look but you should try before on something similar just to make sureBoots in pic were a light tan color. If you look at the color shown on inside of my boots that is about the color they were before applied. Pic taken only 2 hrs after application. I don’t know if it will lighten over time yet.

I recently treated two pair of leather boots with this. One pair is 16 years old. The other is probably 20 years old. With the older pair, I’ve always used just black boot polish (black leather Panama-sole jungle boots). The “newer” pair is what I use in the snow and have never treated them. It took two coats 24-hours apart but the boots look great! More importantly, the shoe grease impregnates the leather and it is well-treated. When water lands on the leather, to beads up and rolls off. Even after treating two pair of leather boots, I probably still have 80% of the product remaining. It doesn’t take much and should last forever. Highly recommended. Oh, and the smell is fantastic. Even my wife liked the smell.

I spend $300 on my work boots so the 1st thing I do before I ever wear them is apply 2 or 3 coats of this stuff ! It works great and waterproofs your boots for a long time before you need to apply it again. But it does drastically darken your leather. Of course it's pine tar and bees wax. I'm honestly not sure what the difference is between the sho grease and show oil. Must just be what it's made of I usually buy the oil but thought I'd try the grease this time. I prefer the grease now because it's souch thicker and easier to rub into the leather. This 8oz can will last me longer than the life of the boots so can't beat the price at that !

Works great. Boots look good and soft.Just remember it will make your boots darker.

At the time of this review, I have used the same 7.5 oz can of Huberd's for more than 5 years, and I still have about a third of it left. I use it two pairs of leather boots (combat boot, and motorcycle boot) about once or twice a year - that's all they need. To use, simply put it in your oven on a low temperature to heat up the can. At this point the grease should be a liquid. Use a screwdriver or your fingers to open the lid, dip a latex gloved finger in the liquid, and apply onto the cleaned leather. Apply generously to the stitching or any seams (including sole seams).This stuff is so powerful it'll restore and waterproof any dry and nasty leather you can throw at it. I wouldn't use it on any furniture since it'll almost certainly darken it and make it greasy. But I would absolutely recommend it for any leather boot or any kind of thick or tough-wearing leather (slings, pouches, tack, maybe an old leather jacket). I have even used this product to reseal my pair of leaky motorcycle boots. I'm sure there is at least one pinhole leak in those boots but as long as I remain diligent and apply this grease once every six months, my feet stay completely dry, even in a downpour at 60 mph. Saves me $300+ on a new pair of motorcycle boots! Quality product, would buy again.

This is the best product out there for waterproofing your outdoor boots. The product is amazing at what it does and [ no mink oil.]All my outdoor boots have never been so conditioned and waterproof.The product is amazing.Why did you pick this product vs others?:Its the best.

This is my first time trying a pine tar conditioner. I have used mink oil for years. I admit that I like the smell of milk oil better, but this stuff works wonders and a dab will do ya. It doesn't smell bad, it smells exactly like I smell after a prescribed fire in the woods: like a campfire.It definitely darkens leather, but my boots were black from walking through burned vegetation. I was worried I ruined nearly $300 boots... But look how nice the right one looks compared to the left one (which was already saddle soaped, btw).I think this will last me a very long time. I apply it to my leather field hats as well.

Best stuff I used on my leather work boots it keeps them from cracking and dying out out my boots in the past would last a year tops and now they have lasted me 3 years and counting. I reapply every six months at the least. It will make the leather darker.
