  10. the leather wont polish up. Its tough old stuff that needs breaking in and dubbin applied. Its not like your normal soft leather, its built to take abuse. I wouldnt bother polishing any walking boots though, just dubbin. Cheers Rob I had some years ago and I,m sure I used to polish them ,any way the leather is reverse kip apparently[inside out ]so I guess dubbin it is then ,ps been wearing them to walk the dog forgot how comfy they are.
