It is the best stuff. In a nutshell if you want to care for your leather boots and want its looks to remain the same this is your product. Nonwaxes and polishes is a good thing when all you want is preserving your boots. Once a year treatment is all that is required for me. I use kiwi saddle soap to clean the boots, let dry fo a day or so, then apply bickmore 4. Done intil next year.
I use Bick4 mostly for leather jackets with finished surface. It softens and moisturizes, and doesn't smell like chemical. Not containing wax is a requirement for some jackets. I found Venician cream works better for chromexel to cover scuffs because it contains wax, and penetrate better.
@@raysanchez7311 depends on what kind of leather, and how old it is. If leather doesn't feel dry to touch, and it flexes easily, then no conditioner needed. If the leather feels stiff, and dry, then lightly condition it with a cream leather conditioner. Avoid heavy conditioning because over saturated leather stretch and lose its shape.
I use Bick 4 most of the time. My only real gripe is it's not great on oil tanned leathers. It's really only meant for smoth finished semi or fully corrected leather.
Nick: "What is in this product" Me: "Loads of animal bones, Jack Daniels, your aunts fridge/freezer, one AA battery and many other things" sounds about right haha :)
i'm late to the party but i'll second that, smith's is awesome stuff!! cocoa butter, beeswax, almond oil, that's it. It doubles as a skin conditioner lol!
Used this on a brand new pair of Iron Rangers and could not believe how much more supple the leather became, instantly. Can't comment on the darkening -- they were Ebony Harness Leather to begin with so already dark.
@@Stridewise Saphir created their greasy leather cream more recently after Nick came out with the rec for Venetian. Nick has said to avoid waxes and use a neetsfoot oil based product.
Just tried this on my light tan boots. I dont know what happened but it actually did get them darker. Really upset I like how my boots looked naturally. I just put it on cause I noticed a little stain. But now I wait hopefully they dry and get back to natural color.
Generally this product doesn't darken leathers. However, in my experience if you have lighter leathers you may see more of a difference. Don't fret, in a month or so it'll be back to where it was
I got a pair of timberlands full grain leather mid hiker boots and I live in Canada where I’ll be wearing them in the winter, what should I do with my boots before wearing them for the first time? They are a light colour and I don’t want them to darken.
If you use Bick 4 on something other than a dark leather you will find it darkens it. Examples: Thorogood CRAZY HORSE MOC TOE Copper Red Wing Iron Ranger. Try it again on a light colored leather.
Great Vid man! Next time I'll consider buying this instead of Venetian. Quick Question tho, does this Product work on non-cow leathers and calf leather?
@@Emezepe3 yeah man you can just use mink oil. you clean the boots, you use mink oil if you want to waterproof and condition the leather, use bick 4 is you want to condition the leather and not darken it
ed rader the boot is only going to take so much, anyway. If we’re really going to nitpick, he should use his fingers and apply it liberally all over, but especially the vamp and creasing heel areas, but you don’t see me saying that, how do ya?
After saving for a good quality boot, I can afford something along the line of the Alden Indy, however, I’m 17. I worry if my foot will grow dramatically by the time my feet stop growing😂 would you buy them in my case? (Idk how foot growth works)
@@Stridewise That is great to know! As long as it keep its original color and provide some protection for the leather to avoid cracking and keep it healthy looking!
Just tried Bick 4 for the first time, compared to Saphir Renovateur it is useless. Bick 4 may be a third of the price but still not worth that much even.
@@UCUl1A-d2F11sHJ-MeTzCBaQ I want a product that will 1. not change the color, 2. will not soften the leather, 3. does not have wax in it. 4. will moisturize it.
