It was a Red Wing Iron Ranger 8111 kinda day. Cleaned, conditioned, mink oiled and finished with a coat of Leather Protector. The Boot Oil was not applied

The same treatment was applied
to these 28+ years old Dr. Martens 939’s.

Can I borrow that Shine Butler? I've got some work to do this weekend on my '91 Redwings. It could take a while.

These boots are what “before” and “after” photos are all about.
but I will say that the sole seems to get a sheen from the sole guard. Not slippery but it does appear that there is a “coating”.
I just ordered my second bottle of Saphir Sole Guard. I have faith in your judgement johnniegold!
Also, even if it does not really do much for waterproofing. I like the way it makes the soles look and I have to think it is good for them.
His shoes drink it to look neat, and then he walks on the rocks.2nd bottle? Are you drinking it neat or on the rocks?
I missed this earlier. I have quite a few pairs of shoes, but I do not think as many as you. My soles seem to absorb this stuff like mad. I do not think I am over applying. It takes quite a few rounds of putting it on lightly before the absorption slows way down. I sure am not leaving a sheen of oil on the soles of my shoes. Not good for the carpets and not good for me on harder surfaces. Seems like good stuff!2nd bottle? Are you drinking it neat or on the rocks?
Beautiful. I have a relatively new pair of made in England Docs, and they seem to be holding up well. I wish they came in half sizes.The Dr. Marten 939 Ben Boot (I’m guessing they are closing in on 30 years old) were liberally oiled and allowed to sit overnight and then we’re brushed off today.
This pair was made in England. That is the original insole. Almost pristine as I always had a removable insole in there. View attachment 1186213View attachment 1186214
