How often (or at all) do you treat your boots?

I've got a pair of goat leather Luccheses and picked up some Bickmore leather conditioner and water/stain repellant. Been about a month since I last applied. May go another round this weekend.

Side note, anyone ever use neatsfoot oil? It's supposed to darken leather but I'm not sure to what extent.

Never. I have good boots and old boots. When the good boots look bad they become old boots. Buy new ones. Old ones get no respect.

Every couple of months. I have these Georgia boots......you can treat them and they look exactly the same after a day. These are the worst boots Ive ever owned.

Not near often enough. I may do when I get home this afternoon. Or even better I could go get my truck washed at Benny's and have homeboy give me a good shine.

If they get nasty, I'll clean em up then too.

Eh, they dont look too bad to me but they are terrible boots. Lucky I have some red wings and some Ariats for backup. Ill never buy another pair of Georgia boots.

I clean and or shine my boots a good bit.. every month for my everyday boots less often for my more formal.

I don't use anything that darkens my leather on my nice boots. When it comes to my lucchesses and my exotic skined boots I am very careful as to what I put on those boots.

I do once a month. Always have briars and shite raking across the top part and it rips the leather constantly
