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.

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.

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.

This product has prevented my year old Ariat boots from allowing any water inside and I have walked through ankle deep water.Applied 3 heavy layers straight out of the box and even heavier on the sewing thread around the boot allowed to dry well over night between each applicationOnce the third layer dried I wore the boot for several days to break them in.This grease helped the boot break in much quicker and has prevented drying or cracking and gives a soft feel. Does darken the leather so that needs to be made aware of and that needs to be accepted ahead of time. It's a work boot ... who cares. Your feet will thank you 😊Apply a reapplication every couple months after a good cleaning. Superb productWill never go without this again.Buy it, you'll be glad you did.

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 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.

So I was hesitant to put 5 stars, but I was warned that it may darken leather. Boy, did it ever darken it. But I'm actually not displeased at all since this more closely matches a lot of other leather belts I have.It looks like axle grease, smells faintly of pine camp fire, and melts into the leather with the heat of your finger.I cannot attest to the waterproofing, but on basically new shoes, the leather is even more supple than before and it's very soft to touch.I'd buy again, but be warned, if you bought your shoes for a specific color, you may not like the results. Mine went from a khaki/camel color to deep reddish brown.These are Thorogood American Heritage moctoe in tobacco color.

I used this to rehabilitate a pair of Ariat Workhogs that I found in a thrift store for $6.50. They were pretty beat and dirty. The uppers were scuffed and a bit torn up, but soles were good, and otherwise totally sound. It's taken over a month to treat the leather, but the shoe grease is awesome. I have used almost a whole can just on these boots. Well worth it. They look better than new. I had to get new insoles. Now they are my daily wear boots.
