Bought a pair of boots that kind of look and feel like cowboy
boots (if it's any helpful information on the type of leather). They
look like this: http://ccc.eu/en/woman/catalog/Lasocki/348546 They're the same brand.
I
thought I'd add some beeswax before wearing them for the first time
since it was raining, and they started darkening as if wet when I
applied the product. The more I added the darker they got so fortunately
I stopped right in time, but after 20 hours or so I still can see them
darker where I applied the product. I am not sure if the beeswax helped
with the water, it doesn't seem to create a protecting layer. They also
had some sort of shine to them I think I just ruined.
So my question
is how should I deal with this type of leather? What to do to protect
them against water and rain? What kind of product would not darken my
boots?
