Old habits are hard to break. 33 years in the Army and I still wear polished leather shoes... Fuck that suede bullshit they look like shit.

Also I love real shoes not that made in China crap that doesn't last 6 months. Real leather, resoleable, rugged and look great.

These are Thorogood Oxfords which I wear mostly in warmer weather, for cold weather I have some Danner hiking boots that are Gortex.

These are at least 3 or 4 years old

Okay, dried them for 24 hours then hit a nice coat of Lincoln Stain Wax and then a top coat of Obanauf's Heavy Duty LP. Warmed them in the 65° sun for a few hours. They should continue to dry some of the leather preservative for another day or so. Then they will be ready...

Yes, I'm a goober, I put tape on the flag to keep it nice looking...

This stuff is the best for making sure leather doesn't dry out and crack
