I rubbed out TWO today (SFW)

[W800]

I don't have a lot of shoes because I am cheap. Anyway, I decided to see if I could make the ones I have look better. But I don't have any shoes polish here because . . . I am cheap.

I found some old liquid floor wax under the sink, and some liquid mink oil out in my pile of old car care chemicals.

I think these shoes came out good!!!

Process was I applied the liquid floor wax with a sponge. Then used heat gun to melt it further into leather. Did this about 7 times on the tall boots. Then finished with mink oil and heat gun again. Then buffed with microfiber.

TY! The tall ones are Clark's Desert Mali's. I got a good deal on them. They were originally in a Beeswax finish, but it eventually just got all yucky. I want to get another pair, but selection is limited (Clarks quit making these).

The ones floating around are the Desert Mali 2, and they are $240, and are also discontinued, and

. . . $240.

That's a lot of gas money for the W800!!!

You should have seen the amount of rags I had to use to clean up my mess!!! It got all over my hands and over the table. Not only that, but it was really sticky.

Lol, even more so. It's pure 100 percent mink oil. It is not cosmetic grade, or mixed with anything. Smells musky.

My first pair of Doc Marten's I used Armor All on. They didn't last to long. Second pair I polished religiously to the point where cops and service members would ask me my MOS. They lasted 20 years until the soles wore out.

Ya. Armor All uses a type of siloxane that is also used in hair conditioner. Weak stuff!

I normally take better care of my shoes and they do last a long time. I feel bad because I let these ones go for so long!!!
