You'll often hear guys talk about using Saddle Soap on their boots but it's a tough product to work with: it's an astringent that constricts the fibers of the leather, helping to push out dirt - but it can easily push out the leather's oils and dye as well. So you need to be real careful with how you go about cleaning boots with Saddle Soap and think of it as a last resort. Weston from ‪@RoseAnvil‬ showed me how to do it right in this video!

Dear lord how long ago did we record this?

We had just met, our friendship was a baby horse learning to stand

@Jasons_Argo Год назад

@@Stridewise Today, that baby horse has become a beautiful bucking stallion! Now it’s time for Nick and Weston to slaughter that horse (humanely), tan it’s hide, make the most premium leather heritage boots ever conceived by man, and sell it at an affordable price!

@@Jasons_Argo This metaphor is perfect!

I use dish soap and a plastic scrub brush. Then again my $300 work boots are just that, work boots. I embrace the aging of the leather and hate shiny leather.

@jasonk6298 Год назад

ive used saddle soap on my roughouts. didnt do anything but clean them. i think its perfectly fine.

@galou0090 Год назад

I have done so on some roughout sneakers and although I noticed the nap lays flatter, its better than it being dirty

As an equestrian I was taught to never use loads of saddle soap. It should never make a white lather. A little goes a long way. Damp sponge bit of soap and scrub it. Good as new

@jsaenzMusic 8 месяцев назад

This is also the advice I learned. Even by the saddle soap makers themselves. I understand quality saddle soap is made of lanolin (moisturizing properties) and beeswax (protective properties.). I did however, dry out the parts of my boots I cleaned using this method, trying to get a stain/mark out (wet brush and lather.). It "seemed" right but before when following the products directions of using a damp cloth and using sparingly, I was able to get stains out without harming the leather

@GoatzombieBubba 2 месяца назад

@@jsaenzMusic saddle soap removes some of the oils from the leather so you have to use a conditioner after cleaning.

@IVIEZEIVI Год назад

Great video! I was looking through some of your old videos and was wondering your opinion on the best places to buy a leather duffle/weekend bag?

@christopheraltman5021 Год назад

Great video

@tommysmith7031 Год назад

Would it be a ridiculous idea to do a video on overcaring for leather boots and shoes? I see some videos where the leather goods are being overcared for.

@Stridewise Год назад

That's a good idea Tommy!

@dp19twn 5 месяцев назад

Great to know how to clean your boots! But what about the insole or foot bed, it would be great to have your advice!

@Zebul333 Год назад

Thank you for the video, I rarely use saddle soap I use bicks saddle soap when I do. Had two questions. 1. Have you tried walrus oil leather oil and their leather wax? I would like your thoughts on those products 2. How do you treat and condition your waxy commander boots does the nap help absorb oils and waxes better?

@rienavoir8250 10 месяцев назад

I found an old bar of glycerin saddle soap, couldn't figure out the other ingredients in there, but I'm wondering if it's as harsh as other saddle soaps...

@kentallard8852 10 месяцев назад

what do if it isn't foaming? just apply more elbow grease?

@davidfuertes1973 Год назад

I’ve always followed my granddad’s advice. Clean with a soap that doesn’t dry out your skin it would work fine for your leathers. The brush is more important than the soap.

@noexcuses5524 9 месяцев назад

Soft bristle brush?

@Player-125 Год назад

That is way too much saddle soap on the brush for a boot or shoe at the beginning. That amount is likely to pull color and oils out of the leather. Don’t do that unless the leather is in rough shape. It is better to hit the leather multiple times lightly if needed. The secret is more in how you work the saddle soap on the leather. It only takes a little to produce a gentle lather. Go easy.

@Araegrab 10 месяцев назад

Well wish I saw this before “following” the directions on the package. When it says lather, guess it means lather. Thankfully my boot is black and some conditioning should do the trick. Now to properly clean the other boot.

@bluecrewfan88 Год назад

Would saddle soap be fine for Thursday's Rugged and Resilient line, specifically, Arizona Adobe?

@UnknownUser-rb9pd Год назад

Yes. It is "rugged and resilient" and not suede. Saddle soap can be used on any top grain leather. I've used saddle soap on dress shoes . If the leather feels dry afterwards you can always add conditioner but that is unlikely to be required for rugged and resilient unless you use saddle soap many times.

@phiilo 10 месяцев назад

so... Fiebings is supposedly the "go to" saddle soap for CXL boots like the alden indys... Products like "Saphir Savon Regenerant Saddle Soap" are not even mentioned as viable alternatives in most discussions regarding that topic on the internet. I wonder why! Are there actual reasons and stats on why Fiebings might be best?

@Stridewise 10 месяцев назад

Fiebing's is just the most popular inexpensive one, Saphir's is great I'm sure!

@jacobroberts2764 Год назад

Not supposed to use Saddle Soap on roughout? Whoops! Lol

@stevenkelby2169 Год назад

That's true, it's fine. Just avoid it on suede.

@alexsherel3344 Год назад

So, you say it could suck some dye from the boot? I’m paraphrasing what you said in the beginning. So….Just got a pair of French Roast Vanguards. They’re too dark, even though TBC claims “they’re the proper collr, if you’re not satisfied, we’ll replace them but you’re gonna get the same color anyway….” Blah blah blah, whatever they could say not to fix the problem. THIS might work….

Hi Nick, what do I use to clean my White's rough out leather boots...? And, is it okay to use saddle soap to clean the sides of the soles...? And, can I use Obenauf's oil to condition my White's...? I am nervous about using Bick 4 on them...Thanks..
