For those that don’t know, IF you use mink oil paste on suede or leather, IT WILL DARKEN THE SHOE! I personally like it but most don’t. If you want to draw the mink oil out, cover the shoes with baking soda or cornstarch! Cornstarch is best. After they sit in the cornstarch for a couple of days, simply brush the cornstarch off. Voila. It absorbed all the moisture and returns your shoes to its natural finish. You’re welcome.
I agree. If a product is actually conditioning leather, it will darken it. By the way, Bick 4 and Cadillac Leather Conditioner are the same product with identical SDS.
I’ve had both boots never had one issue quality wise but if I’m being honest Wingshooter is a really warm shoe compared to Ashby I’ve had both numerous times and sometimes I swap to Ashby and it feels like my feet breathe again lol
Yea it destroyed the cells on the surface of your hands.. so if that happens why would you soak your feet... no doctor would ever advise peroxide... you're insane
Hello bro, hope you are doing great. I have a pair of Solovair greasy leather, can waterproofing those too? i was thinking in the spray, but after watching your video i think its would bebetter the Mink Oil Paste right? And with hi-shine leather the spray? Hope you can give me your opinion. Thank you, man.
Got the ashbys and I think they’re pretty good. I work as a sheet metal worker in particular sheet metal roofing and that means I’m handling 10’ sheets of sharp metal working at a very rapid pace. The boots are holding up and protecting my feet when I hit them while flipping the sheet on a bend.
Great video matey & regards from the uk. Have you any idea what the 7b10 stands for? i have some of these boots but have only worn them once so am going to sell them on ebay, i've seen some sold saying 7b10 on the listing but I have no idea what it means & can't see it on the yellow label anywhere😏 cheers
I'm watching from South Africa 🇿🇦they discontinued the product from all the place I use to by from...Clicks and Discem that's where we buy our medication or should i say health products😭😭😭
In this kind of situation or job you need a lot of spare boots.. Gore-Tex lined preferably. You need to take a spare pair of boots and fresh socks to work every day and change them half way through the day. Let your feet dry in the air before swapping footwear and maybe cover your feet in anti fungal powder before the fresh socks are worn. The secret is to keep moisture away from any kind of fungal growth or sore skin, which is hard to do in this environment. I use raw bleach on a cotton bud and literally smother it in between my toes and it stings sometimes but it definitely clears the fungal problem up. Another important thing to do is always stuff your boots with newspaper or a dry 100% cotton pillowcase or old cotton sheet ripped into sections and packed into the front of the boots.. you should really have a rota of boots which need to be bone dry ready for the next day, that’s a key factor.
The absolute best work boot money can buy. They are nothing less then an investment. zero break in period. I’ve had 15+ pairs of these I usually go through 2 pairs a year I work with concrete I never oil or take care of them though so if you did take care you’d probally get better life out of them. As long as timberland keeps making these boots you couldn’t pay me to wear another boot.
I wanted this particular look because it's looks good enough to use in office also, sadly these similar looking black boots are either puncture resistant or waterproof.
Great review, I learned about shoe care while working at a country club where we did shoe shine. I recently found and bought some vintage orginal military boots from the 80's and the first thing I did was use Bick 4 to make sure the leather hadn't dried out over the decades. After watching your video, I think I'll stick with it as it doesn't darken, seems less messy to apply, and doesn't seem to leave much residue a few days later
Timberland polishes the leather with a wax spray which makes is water resistant, using soap to clean will take off that waterproof coat, wax spraying your shoe will keep their water resistance till they last
Soak your feet in apple cider vinegar for 30 minutes. It will eat away at the fungus . Then rinse with water. Make sure to dry your feet good and dry between the toes. Soak your feet in apple cider vinegar every other day until you see results. Don't put lotion between your toes.
Having arch support is very debatable. Some said our foot muscles need to work to make arch by itself. If we get support from outside, those small foot muscles became lazy and weak in the long run. Arch support should be just for temporary support. I think having arch is a personal choice.
Try filing the whole toenail until it feels kind of rough. Filing down the top surface layer a bit then, get a cottonball with rubbing alcohol (new cotton ball for each tonail) and apply the rubbing alcohol onto the toenails. (NOT IN-BETWEEN TOES) Only your actual nails. Make sure to let them dry completely before putting on any socks or shoes but, it's best to keep them uncovered as much as possible. Repeat everyday twice a day and it makes a huge difference when dealing with toenail fungus.
