How do you take care of leather?

What do you do to shoes, briefcases, boots, etc? Do you use conditioner or do you just polish and go? I'm experimenting with ways to keep my shoes in perfect shape.

I have some of this that I put on our chairs at home. Seems to be working fine so far.

I use Obenauf's Heavy Duty Leather Preservative and it has always worked for me. I have a pair of Meindl hiking boots that have been put through hell but I always wash them and condition them after every time they get wet/dirty and they are in perfect shape. I use it on my oxfords and wingtips as well and they look perfect too.

Lexol.
But I'm sure you've tried it or something like it already

Boots - Obenaufs heavy duty LP
Belts, cars, furniture, and soft leathers get Lexol
Dress shoes get polished
My boots are wet, muddy, or dirty on a regular basis![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

I use Vaseline and rub my loafers!
seriously, it cleans off the dirt and keeps the leather soft, albeit darker than original. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

I'm not sure about leather but the absolute best way to keep tennis shoes looking brand new is by using a Magic Eraser. It's unreal how well they work if you start using one as soon as you get your shoes.

Leather new is a cheap and easy 1 step glycerin spray. I don't use it on my tack (I'm a little obsessive about that) but it is great for boots, etc.
Lexol conditioner can be found at Walmart in the car section and I use that on boots too. I hate the local cleaner, though.
For my saddle...
I love higher standards soap or even plain bar castille soap if it's really dirty. Then I've got some oakwood (I think, I got it on amazon) conditioner with tea tree and lanolin. Supposed to help with mildew too

I'll have to ask my valet, my shoes always seem to look pretty good

It puts the lotion on its skin

100% Neetsfoot oil is the correct answer. It is rendered from cow bones.
