Looks like I will pick up leather conditioner and waterproofing spray and see what happens. I'll just space out when I use them just in case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-condition-your-boots#post-395386 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 06:11:48 +0000 taylor 395386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reminder! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-condition-your-boots#post-395361 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 04:50:28 +0000 rae 395361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I don't do any of this, as it hardly rains here, and when it does I'm usually just walking from a parking garage straight into an elevator. Then again, my casual boots have usually been extremely tough. I might try this waterproofing/conditioning thing out with my new Docs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-condition-your-boots#post-395356 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 04:26:15 +0000 Kari 395356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been treating my boots with water-resistant leather conditioner at least once seasonally. I bought a nice cream leather conditioner that I got at Clarks, and I not only use it on my boots, but also my leather shoes that see a lot of wear. I do think it's helping to protect the color on my boots, and especially noticed the difference on some boots that I *hadn't* got around to conditioning/weatherproofing yet and wore out in the winter on salted sidewalks. I had to seriously baby them to reduce the discoloration afterwards. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-condition-your-boots#post-395350 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 04:13:52 +0000 chewyspaghetti 395350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't usually waterproof my boots- being as I live in the desert and it hardly ever rains here. I do condition all of my leather goods (real and fake) regularly. I think it really helps things to hold up better, especially in the case of not the highest quality (which is usually what I can afford). I try to do it at least twice a year (beginning and end of season). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-condition-your-boots#post-395278 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:08:34 +0000 Angie 395278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't condition, only spray and polish. But I do have my boots spruced up at the cobblers' each season. Perhaps they condition? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-condition-your-boots#post-395277 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:07:58 +0000 lyn* 395277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. I condition all of my leather boots; during time of heavy use, they get a wipe and condition once a week, or twice a week if I am not lazy.</p> <p>2. I have never waterproofed my boots. They just get conditioning. </p> <p>:) The longest I've owned a pair of boots so far is 3 yrs. My black clarks have not cracked and I'm planning on using them for another 3 years or so. So; I've had no problems! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-condition-your-boots#post-395275 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:05:33 +0000 Lisa 395275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am planning on picking up some weatherproofing spray after seeing <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caring-for-leather-suede-boots">this thread</a>. </p> <p>Two questions.</p> <p>1-Do you leather condition your boots? I picked up the Frye “<a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/frye-carmen-short-back-lace-ankle-boot/3155315?origin=keywordsearch&amp;resultback=114">Carmen Short Back Lace”</a> Ankle Boot from <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/07/15/top-picks-for-the-nordstrom-anniversary-sale/">Angie's picks</a> and am wondering if they require periodic leather conditioning to prevent cracking? I also picked up these <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/stuart-weitzman-twotime-short-boot/3170536?origin=PredictiveSearch&amp;resultback=684">SW boots</a>.</p> <p>2-Do you leather condition boots before or after waterproofing spray?</p> <p>I don't want to ruin these boots but am uncertain what to do with them. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
