I've got the 2976 crazy horse and have wonder balsam, can I still use wonder balsam to condition them boots when they start feeling dry, or is dubbin the way to go instead?

Bring back the industrial Chelsea’s PLEASE

Lia has a nice pair of brown boots

What to do if the boots squeak? I’m not sure. I think it’s insole, but it might be an outsole too. I’ve got 1460 nubuck model
-
Is it better to delace your boots when they are new for the first few months so you are not trying to cram them on and relace once you have them comfortably on.

I'm an old punk, lol , 55 young .

I've had my 1460 smooth leather boots for about 6 months. I've been using Wonder Balsam but the crease at the on the top of the boots has become heavily cracked. I was advised by your customer service team that this is due to wear and tear - after 6 months? How should I care for the cracked leather?
-
NEW OWNER HERE! I’m kind of curious about wiping it down after putting in balsam, won’t it just wipe away the product?
-
