<\/span><\/h2>\nThe second rule is to condition frequently and early.<\/p>\n
Most of the time, I condition a pair of boots during the first month of ownership, if not immediately, before I wear them for the first time.<\/p>\n
I advise applying some conditioner during the first five or six wears merely to retain the leather moisture, and then condition it after every ten wears.<\/p>\n
Depending on the type of leather, I usually alternate between three different leather conditioners.<\/p>\n
I work with Bick 4, which is the least expensive. I use this one on boots that have already been waxed and are naturally loaded with oils.<\/p>\n
Bick 4 aids in maintaining the leather’s moisture. It will remove some of the nicks and scratches while barely altering the color.<\/p>\n
Venetian Leather Balm is my preferred and most frequently used leather conditioner. I’ll utilize that in situations where I don’t want to affect the leather’s color.<\/p>\n
More so than Bick 4, Venetian Leather Balm seeps into the leather and is slightly more efficient. It has a slight shine, but not a lot.<\/p>\n
Saphia Renovator is the final type of leather conditioner I’ll use. I apply it to any of my dressier boots that need a stronger shine.<\/p>\n
Since Saphir Renovator is so expensive and you want that shine on dressier boots, I definitely save it for those.<\/p>\n
