Venetian Shoe Cream vs. Nubuck Leather | Viberg Service Boot Experiment

These are my Viberg Service Boots in Aged Bark nubuck leather. After nearly a decade of wear, they’ve seen better days. So I decided to try something you’re not supposed to do, I stuffed them full of Venetian Shoe Cream. In this video, we’ll tackle the boot together, step by step. I’ll show how the cream changes the texture, color, and finish of nubuck, and whether it’s actually ruined or somehow better for it. This isn’t a restoration guide or a how-to, it’s just a curiosity project to see what happens when you ignore the rules.
