ASMR | How to Clean and Condition Your Leather Boots | Red Wing Roughneck 8146 Thrifted Restoration

Incredibly lucky to run across a preowned pair of Red Wing 8146 Roughneck leather boots while thrifting. Here is how I restore, by cleaning and conditioning, boots in an ASMR-like fashion. Step 1: Brush the boots with a horsehair brush to loosen and dislodge particulates. Dust, sand, and the like act as abrasives whenever the boot leather moves and will accelerate the wear of it. Step 2: Clean the boots with Saddle Soap from Fiebing's. Wipe dry and then let air dry. Step 3: Condition your boots with Bick 4 from Bickmore and let dry 15 minutes. A heated boot, from perhaps from a hair dryer or the sun, will help the conditioner penetrate into the leather, deeper. Red Wing Leather Cream can substitute as both hardly affect the color. Boot oil may be required depending on the age, leather tanning method and damage a used boot may have suffered. Brush your boots after conditioning. Step 4: Apply neutral colored Venetian Shoe Cream for a slight shine and protection. Brush thoroughly and perhaps have multiple brushes available as the wax may build up on the brush itself. #beforeandafter #asmr #redwing #cleaning #howto #satisfying #restoration
