Sof Sole Mink Oil Review: Not Actually Mink Oil

BUY SOF SOLE MINK OIL: https://amzn.to/2VRrU6Z READ THE FULL REVIEW: https://stridewise.com/sof-sole-mink-oil-review/ ✪ Check out my 10 Best Boots On the Market! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kuHyyefNGE Search “boot conditioners” on Amazon and this is the most popular mink oil-based product. I put it to the test on some incredibly old, beat up Thursday President boots to see if it could breathe any new life into them. Ingredients Believe it or not, this is just 5 to 15 percent mink oil. (You can see the proof in my written review.) 55 to 85 percent of it is tallow. Fat from beef or sheep. There’s also some glycerol, which belongs to the family of alcohol compounds. See my review of (the fancier) Venetian Shoe Cream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V83YKXHUvFU Application 1. Warm it up before you use it. Some people put a spoonful in a coffee cup and microwave but I just rub it between my hands. 2. Rub a layer deep into all the cracks and crevices of the boot. 3. Wait a few minutes and wipe away any excess. 4. Apply a second coat if you need to. (These boots needed it.) Price You can pick up 3.5 ounces for $3, so it’s 85 cents an ounce. The closest competitor would be Red Wing’s Mink Oil, which is $3.30 an ounce. That’s also not all mink oil, but I’m pretty sure it has more mink oil than Sof Sole’s tallow product. PROS Cheap Helps water resistance Improves color consistency CONS Darkens Only ~10 percent mink oil Hard to shine
