If you pay that much for your boots, then I’d say you’ve earned the right to care for, modify, or use it however you’d like. Thanks for the helpful video
They do make heavy boars hair brushes. My tip to anyone NOT wanting to completely scuff their boots (remember his are roughed out, if ur boots are smooth, do not by any means, use a brush like this), anyway, look up car cleaning brushes, in particular, interior carpet cleaning brushes. They will be rather stiff, do less damage, and at the very least, be a few steps less than a wire brush. If you really feel the need for a wire brush, at least use the ones that made of a plastic. (If you get a three pack they will usually have, brass, metal, and some sort of stiff plastic to eliminate marring car parts and stuff, if you really think you need this level of penitration, which you dont lol). Boars hair brushes are what you need here fellas. Not wire.
Most people use a 50/50 mix so, a few benefits one you can apply it at room temp, two you can apply it super thin. Its just like waxing a car you don't want to do it thick.
@@KimballCody I owe you an explanation. First, there was absolutely no sarcasm nor criticism intended, or involved, in my initial comment. Those are your boots, and you have every right to do with them as you please. The "Thanks" in my comment was sincere. I recently purchased a pair of pre-owned and lightly worn Vasque Mountaineering and Hiking boots made by Red Wing in 1976 (mfg. date stamped on inside lining). I was considering waxing this roughout flesh. I searched YT and found your video. I watched the entire video and then decided I did not want to do that to boots that had survived 48 years without being waxed. Instead, I applied Bick4 to the inside smooth surface of the roughout. This softened the stiff leather without darkening or changing the texture of the outer surfaces. I hope this makes sense. I'm nearly 70 y.o.. That's too old to be trolling content creators on YT. Sorry for any confusion or anger my initial comment may have created.
I've got a pair of brown waxed flesh urban drifters. Did you use anything during the year before you rewaxed them? Like maybe some Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP?
Is there an advantage to taking the mason jar out every time, or could you leave it in the warm water bath while applying to keep it warm? Maybe I missed the reason on my first watch
