I never thought of using dish soap to clean my leather boots. Thanks for the tip! . Since I don't really wear my boots all that often because I WFH now. I just brush them off and use a damp rag .
You can clean you shoes any way you choose but I would ditch the dish soap and buy an inexpensive bar of glycerine saddle soap and a brush. I’ve been cleaning my shoes, boots and saddles with it since childhood and it’s perfect. For conditioning buy a small bottle of Lexoil. Your leather goods will last forever. 👍☮️🌞🌟🥾
@@AshlandLeather I know that the folks at grant stone love Venetian shoe cream, but I used cobbler choice leather cream since that’s what I had. I’m still letting them sit to take the cream in still, but they already look more hydrated. Can’t wait to wear them to work tomorrow.
I love these boots..I have the brown CXL...the one thing that pissed me off is,i saw the Wyatt and Sons do.a.re-sole and Oakstreet actually put in some crap fiber board instead of cork or leather....my 200 Thursday Captains have cork...i found this to be a cheap ass move and they are currently at my local cobbler getting "fixed".....very surprising
The grain has been scraped off so it will never look exactly the same. I can fill it in with a waxy polish and it should cover it up -- especially with a colored polish
@@AshlandLeather Ah, right. I ask because I have some Vibergs in this leather and I noticed a dark blotch similar to yours, although the leather isn't damaged otherwise. Any recommendations?

Just water and brushing can take you very far!

How about cleaning the boots with lexol leather cleaner?
I literally just cleaned and conditioned my grant stone brass boot.
How do they look? What did you use?

Those are some handsome boots nice patina. Are they water proof at all
How did you sized them compared with other american boots, like PNW family: Nick's, White's to name a few?

Are you talking about where they put a logger sole on? If so, I believe that is cork that comes in that format.
@@jamesfulmer7080 I was just saying my Oakstreet boots don't use cork
Hi. Nice Video.
Did the Tanner's Darken the Leather? Have you ever used Bick 4 Conditioner?
The Tanner's Blend didn't seem to darken the natural CXL. I haven't tried Bick 4 but I have only heard GREAT things about it
I'm curious: if you wanted to get rid of that dark spot on the toe of the left boot, is there a way to do it?

@@tonymoore2100 want to send me a photo? phil@ashlandleather.com
@@AshlandLeather Hi~ Are there any tutorials on the waxy polish process. I have the same issue with my natural cxl boots too. thanks
Random question. Do these boots have veg tan insoles or fiberboard?
Veg insoles
Why use dish soap instead of saddle soap?
Saddle soap has a built in conditioner. Using this method I get more control over the strength of soap and the conditioner choice
Kinda surprised theres no gusseted tongue. They do look good though.
The tongue is not gusseted 🤦🏻♂️
