Wow!! That’s great! I totally agree. I picked up a pair of used boots early on and don’t regret it one bit! A little bit of cleaning and conditioning sure goes a long way, and before you know it they’ll be molded to your feet 😊😁
I just bought my first pair of redwings. I’m going to do exactly what you did, including waiting 6mo before I clean and condition. Hopefully I’ll get the same results, thanks for the lesson! :)
I got the 8111’s. The right boot is comfortable, but the left one has an issue causing a bit of foot pain. The heel of the foot bed is off center, and I’ve been using sand paper to try and fix it. Love the boots otherwise, and I’m gonna press on, and hopefully that issue works itself out …
Why don’t you reach out to Red Wing and exchange them instead? I think it would be better that you got a functioning pair instead of trying to fix this one. Reach out to them within the return window. I’m sure they’d be happy to help! It’s such an amazing pair of boots and I would hate for you to miss out on a truly enjoyable experience.
@@DenimDarlin I bought them on EBay for $300, a good price I think. Can’t return those, so I’ve been trying to fix them myself. I didn’t like the results I was getting from the sandpaper, but wore them to work today anyway. We have a truck mechanic, and I borrowed a very large punch and hammer, and “punched the crap” out of the leather footbed that was giving me trouble. It worked! My 8111’s are now perfect … :)
Great Video. Only thing I use Red Wing Leather Cream or SAPHIR Greasy Leather Cream For Oil Tanned Boots. Does not darken the leather. The Oil Really absorbs into the weather better but that Causes Darkening of the Leather.
Hi! Thank you very much!! I think it will be okay, but will definitely remove more oils than a gentler cleaner, so you would just have to condition them more after the wash so the leather doesn’t dry out too much.
I prefer to use neatsfoot oil on my Copper rough and tough. It requires more frequant applications, but it doesn't darken the leather like mink oil. If those boots were Briar Oil Slick leather, I would absolutele use the mink oil.
Hi! I love that you took the time to tell me :) Thank you. I agree with you. I personally love using a product which won’t darken my Silversmith boots. So far, the leather cream has worked for me. I have been using different conditioners for educational purposes in my boot cleaning videos. The Copper Rough & Tough Blacksmiths did end up lightening up, after several days. I will show them in a video so that you can see. Thank you again for your feedback.
HOW EXCITING!!!!!!! Maybe because you sensed it’s my absolute favorite boot? 😉 Seriously. You are going to love it! It’s my go to and the leather is my favorite! 😍
Gahhh!!! How awesome!! I am so happy for you!! 😝😝😝 All black or white sole? Do you love the luxurious Silversmiths? Thank you so much!! I’m doing well. Just busy, but I have videos I need to and want to make. I hope you’re doing great! 💕💕💕
Hi! It is okay to use it on your boots. It will darken the leather a bit and will add a waxy coating which will help repel water. After applying it on your boots, I suggest giving them a quick brush to remove the excess.
Cuando apliques todo deja que trabaje los aceites por un dia por que lo aplicas i en el momento se lo quitas de jalo un par de horas para que los aceites trabajen
You’re wrong. Also, if you look on the RW website they show you which conditioners they recommend for their boots. Mink or leather boot are both okay on the copper. I have those boots and know what they look like. They are fine.
@@DenimDarlin Mink Oil will always darken leather, the leather conditioner cream with Neats foot oil is the only Redwing product that doesn't darken the leather, in their own words not mine.
Absolutely love Red Wing's Copper Rough & Tough leather. Looks great clean, looks great beat up, it just always looks great.
I totally agree with you!! I absolutely love it’s marveled look.
I have learned so much from you. I think Red Wing should make you their spokes person. Also I'm saving up for my Iron Ranger boots!
Thank you!! I am so happy to know that 😁💕💕 It would be so awesome to work with them. Thank you so much!!
They look sooooo gooood!!! Can‘t wait for the Silversmith video! ❤️😍
Thank you!!! 😁❤️ Have you been enjoying wearing yours?!
Beautiful! Got some new blacksmiths and I am preparing for when I have to clean them. Thanks!!
Congratulations on your new boots!! 😍 I hope you’re already loving them! And I’m so glad this video was helpful.
Fabulous job! They look better than new. 😁
I should look after my boots much more than I do… you’ve inspired me to clean my boots. 👍
Thank you so much Darren!! What wonderful compliments 😁 I love that so much! 😊✨✨✨
Good stuff DD, I have these very boots. I use saddle soap and red wing leather cream to maintain the lighter coops color. Thank you for sharing.
It’s great you take the time to care for them. They must look stunning 😍
Very nice boots and video.
Thank you!!
Very nice video!! Very detailed and thorough!!
I would also suggest maybe doing a boot cleaning ASMR video too! 👌🏼
Thank you so much and thank you for the suggestion!
This was a very good video and am now gonna pick up some good used ones and do this cleaning 👍 it’s a bonus that the patina’s already there 😎🤔🤔

I agree with you. I do love testing different products for educational purposes, though.
Just ordered some seconds of these today. :) Really looking foward to them.
They’re such a great pair of boots! So versatile. You’re gonna love them :D
Hey Ana, how do I get in touch with you? All I remember about your IG is that it isn't "Denim Darlin" an there's no info on your TH-cam!
Hi Nick! Happy Thanksgiving! I will send you a message through Instagram. Thank you!
My Instagram is now “Denimdarlin” thanks to you! Hope you’re doing great 😊
Fantastic video as always! I don't have any boots with this type of leather. Would saddle soap be OK to use on the rough and tough?

Do you use pure Neatsfoot oil or Prime Neatsfoot oil?
I’m not sure. I use Red Wing’s leather cream. Do you know which kind it contains?
@@DenimDarlin I have absolutely no clue. 🙂
Lol 😆
They look great. I wish I had a lady That would clean and condition my boots😂🤣
Bahahahahahaha. Thank you!! Wish for it and it just may come true 😆
The leather is littler after few days ? Or still dark ? Also the leather is softer after the mink oil ? Thanks
Hi! The leather lightens after several days. And it does feel more flexible after conditioning.
👀I’m THIS close to getting Silversmiths in this leather 🙋🏻♀️How did you know?
HOW EXCITING!!!!!!! Maybe because you sensed it’s my absolute favorite boot? 😉 Seriously. You are going to love it! It’s my go to and the leather is my favorite! 😍
@@DenimDarlin I got them…and the moc toe in black! Miss your vids, lady. Hope you’re well and just super busy. ;)
Gahhh!!! How awesome!! I am so happy for you!! 😝😝😝 All black or white sole? Do you love the luxurious Silversmiths?
Thank you so much!! I’m doing well. Just busy, but I have videos I need to and want to make. I hope you’re doing great! 💕💕💕
I've just bought a pair of these boots. I have some renapur leather conditioner, would this be OK to use?

Tengo redwing y eso lo que ago
Megusta como limpias las botas te amo
Gracias!

Wow,your 6 month like 8 years to me....
They’ve been put to work.
🌹👌
Thank you!
You've completely ruined the finish on those by putting mink oil on them
You would think so, but the boots are perfectly fine.
@@DenimDarlin No, you've darkened them and they have lost the lovely copper colour now

Your argument is that the boots are ruined. I am letting you know they are not. Take care.
