Huberd's Shoe Grease 7.5 oz, Leather Conditioner and Waterproofer for Boots, Shoes, Saddles, and Gear. Beeswax and Pine Tar Formula. Since 1921.

Really loosen ups your boot for breaking them in. Also the waterproofing really works. One day in my thorogoods we had to hand dig like 10ft under a deck (mind you thorogoods are not waterproofed from factory) and there was quite a bit of ground water, i ended up standing in ground water for a little over 9 hours and no water got in my boots until about hour 6. TLDR: they waterproof boots excellently plus they soften them up

I just retired after a 40 year career as an IBEW electrician. This will probably be the last can of Huberd's I'll ever have to buy, after going through many cans. I've been using Huberd's for a couple of decades now and can tell you it is by far the best treatment for a tradesman's work boots. Not only does it protect the leather keeping if soft and supple, but waterproofs the leather for the longest time. When the boots are new, apply a coat and allow it to absorb over night, then apply a second coat and again allow it to absorb. Wear the boots for a week and apply a third coat. Now that the leather is infused with Huberd's you won't have to reapply for a year or two. the leather stays waterproof even after getting them continuously wet, your feet stay dry.

This is the best stuff for your leather boots. I used to use it years ago, and I thought for some reason they went out of business. I rediscovered it recently and boy was I happy. Heat your boots up, I use a heat gun on low or a hair dryer. paint it on thinly with a small brush (if you warm up the can its a liquid if not, its a thick goo.) and hit it with the heat again, it'll soak in. buff the excess off and you have waterproof leather. Now, people tell you it is not for waterproofing the welt, and in the hot weather this is sort of true, as it turns to a liquid and is more like oil in the heat, BUT... in the cold winter, if you paint this stuff on the welt, its thick. When its out in the winter cold, its even stiffer and sticky and DOES seal your welt up nicely. Buff all the excess off the boot well, or you'll have stained pant cuffs where they ride on your boots. If its buffed off till dry not so much. Very light coats will soak in and the leather will be nice and dry. It smells like pine tar, which if you have never had pine tar, smells a bit like axle grease. So keep that in mind. You'll get used to it. Properly done you can waterproof leather boots in the cold to be as water tight as a rubber boot. You ever watch old movies and think how did these people keep their feet dry in leather boots? Well pine tar and bees wax is a very old mix and for a good reason.... it works. Hubers is formulated different than the old stuff but it works excellent. Try this FIRST....all other weather proofing goop like mink oils et al, pale in comparison. Just buy it.

This is an excellent conditioner and sealer. However when they say it may darken the color, it definitely will. I bought a pair of saddle leather brown boots and once I applied this I had a pair of dark brown almost black boots. They warned of this on the can was just darker than expected

I work outdoors all day, every day, often in wet grass, mud, and everything else nature can throw at me. Having the right leather conditioner makes all the difference, and Huberd’s Shoe Grease has truly earned its reputation. After applying a single coat, my boots shed water easily and stay flexible without feeling greasy. Even after long days in wet conditions, my feet stay dry and comfortable. The application is simple—just rub it in, let it absorb, and buff lightly. It restores the leather’s color and keeps it from cracking, which means my boots last longer and perform better. If you rely on your footwear for tough work conditions, this product is worth every penny. I’ll absolutely repurchase when I need more.

This shoe grease worked in very well with my new pair of leather hiking boots. It does turn the leather a dark color. It appears to be waterproof and it softens the leather to wear a break-in of the new boots was minimal.

Sure it makes them darker. Sure the aroma is there for a few days. Sure you might want to avoid suede. Sure thing. From my old biker engineer boots to work and hiking boots- the best. Even the resurrection of my ancient baseball glove to play catch with the great nephews. The best. No rot, no back of the closet mold and mildew. Hot sun after application is the easiest, but a heat gun or blow dryer works. Put on rubber gloves and dedicate a toothbrush for use and renew your leather. I can attest to decades of use and am ordering a fresh can now

Work great on my work boots that are exposed to industrial strength degreaser regularly. The leather stays soft and conditioned even after heavy abuse

Sehr gutes Produkt 😊

After apply on my shoes, it feel soft and renourishing to leather. look alike darker but not issue on my black & brown shoes.

Considero que es un buen producto, hasta el momento ha servido bien en mis botas. No las hace totalmente impermeables, pero si las protege. La verdad el producto es sumamente caro,creo que hay muchas más opciones a un cuarto de precio que harían la misma función e incluso con más producto. Es un producto de calidad pero no creo que justifique el precio.

Small pot but goes a long way. Excellent product our golf shoes and walking boots now look like new and are re-waterproofed. We warmed the pot slightly in a bowl of hot water. This makes it easier to apply and makes it last longer. Definately recommend.

I recently bought a pair of Dr. Martens boots and was looking for a natural grease to treat them. This grease is absolutely perfect. Made with natural bee's wax and pine tar, there are no animal fats or tallow, no preserver additives or synthetic compounds so that means it will NOT cause detterioration of threads ( important for Dr. Martens) or cause undue stretching of leather. It is a Waterproofer and conditioner for leather. This company has been around forever and never changed their product because it's absolutely perfect just the way it is. Tried and tested with time ! The grease did not change the colour of my boots ( black) they looked shiny at first but came back to normal after it dried. the leather is more supple and there is no need to brush after application. The can will last you for a really long time as it doesn't take much to treat a pair of boots or shoes. You can use your fingers or a cotton cloth if you prefer but it's totally safe. It smells like a old campfire when you apply it but the smell doesn't stay and it's easy to wash off hands. I highly recommend this product, I am so happy with it !
