All my work and bike boots get cleaned under a tap with a scrubbing brush and then treated with Scarpa leather cream. I took a picture how sad is that. I've used it for years.
Always use Kiwi boot polish and a pair of ex MoD brushes my father bought me when I left home in 1963 to join the police cadets
Brushes still going strong to this day and showing no signs of wear!
Do they not employ people less fortunate than ourselvesRemploy,
Now there's a name i haven't heard in along time.
They are still going today, which is very good to hear,
I suspect not a lot of people know what they do.
I would suspect for them at this time it's going to be doubly difficult
If you've still got the brushes, and there going strong, shows how well made they were
Not much point having the moisture from you foot pass through a goretex membrane only to find it can’t get out through the pores in the leather!
I haven't used dubbin for at least 40 years when the wisdom was that it rots cotton stitching in the boot. Nikwax replaced it for me but nowadays I stick to Leder Gris or the Daytona stuff from a tube which smells like honey.
I am afraid you are wrong. Gortex is the material liner on the inside of the boot, as with a Gortex liner in a jacket. Whatever you put on the outside will not affect the Gortex. However, the Gortex on the inside of a boot will have a finite life and once reached will then be ineffective.
