Have had most makes of soft walking boots berghause, merril, high tech, north face etc and the best ones by far were called scarpa I think, got them from go outdoors, I tend to kill a pair most winter

It was the wet type sold by our local departement d'eau.  If you want some I'll send it. It will just cost you postage.

In all fairness thats not such a terrible idea

Try a small spot of meths on them mate see if that lifts it.

If not, a drop of bleach.

Then just wax them back to the same colour.......it works on wood for oil, don’t know about leather but worth a try maybe.

outdoor air dry them though.ive got an outdoor shelter by the back door it's like a wind tunnel.i hang them up on a hook when they are wet.the slow drying seem's to help with cracking..

i say that because some lads put them infront of the fire etc..

About 1 pair a season I go through.

Get a tub of this smithie and give them a good coating every few weeks.

And put them in the sun after applying.they seem to soak up the renapur better in the sun.

And give the back of the ankle area  a good coating aswell as they will split there if the leather drys out to much.

And another thing that helps when  walking miles in them. adjust the laces like this as it takes a lot of the stiffness out of the front were They bend.

Sounds daft but it works for me.
