- If this is the first time you have a go at using leather treatment products this comparison between mink oil and boots oil will be helpful for you.
Since I couldn't find much information about this topic I've decided to test both the mink oil and the boots oil on the work boots I wear at work day in, day out.
The specific oils I've used for this test are Fiebing's liquid mink oil and Huberd's shoe oil.
Here is the article I mention in the video that you should check out every now and then as I go back to the article and update it with new things I've discovered (if any).

I have used vegetable oil on my shoes to hydrate them and it takes many coats. The oil has a thin viscosity and the surface continuously absorbs the oil until well hydrated. Your brush method puts the most oil on the leather at once which is perfect for hydration. Your boots will take more than one coat to soften creases and make the leather very flexible. You have premium boots that are tough and beautiful. I tend to wear Merrell and Timberland now, but wore Red Wings for 20 years as a carpenter. I never treated work boots with this much respect back then, as I do now for all my leather shoes.
It's never too late to learn is it? 😄 thanks for commenting and for subbing Stephen.
What vegetable oil have you used btw? I'll write an article about using olive oil on work boots and if that's good or not. You haven't used this, have you?
Btw, Merrell and Timbs are good boots at a decent price.👍🏼
@@BestForMyFeet I use Canola oil. It's thin so it soaks in immediately. I will use a brush next coat as fingers don't leave enough oil in place.
It goes rancid much faster then mink oil from what I understand
Good comparison in demo for two different textures boot. Using brush is good technique!
Thank you🙂
Great video! Answered every question I had!
You should spray or pour water on the boots to test how much water repellent they are.
Great Video. Very Helpful.
Thanks Peter🤜🏼🤛🏼 I'm happy to hear that🙂
In your experience, which product softened the thorogood boots most effectively?
Hey Jon, the Thorogood boots are very soft without even applying any conditioner.
That's the type of leather these boots come with. It's "tumbled leather".
But I think mink oil make it even softer since it penetrates deeper into the leather than boots oil.
