Whether working at your desk, in the woods, on a construction site, or from the saddle of a horse, Huberd Shoe Grease products will waterproof, soften, and condition your leather footwear and gear.

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 Review: Best in class! - 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. ## Features - DEEP LEATHER CONDITIONING: Huberd's penetrates leather fibers to restore flexibility, replenish natural oils, and prevent cracking. Ideal as a leather conditioner for boots, shoes, saddles, gloves, and belts. - SUPERIOR WATERPROOFING: Absorbs into leather creating a powerful moisture barrier that repels rain, snow, and mud. The beeswax and pine tar formula seals moisture out while softening leather in a single product. - 100+ YEARS OF PROVEN RESULTS: The original leather conditioner trusted by loggers, hunters, ranchers, and outdoorsmen since 1921. Family owned and made. - EXPERT CARE FOR LEATHER GOODS: Versatile enough for boots, shoes, saddles, holsters, gloves, belts, and other leather accessories. One jar handles hiking, hunting, camping, work, and heavy outdoor use. - EASY TO APPLY, LONG LASTING RESULTS: Work the grease into clean, warm leather with your hands, a cloth, or a brush. Let it penetrate, then wipe off any excess. Will darken most leather. Not recommended for suede, safe for rough-out. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,270 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #23 in Shoe Protective Treatments | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 11,351 Reviews | ## Images ![Huberd's Shoe Grease 7.5 oz, Leather Conditioner and Waterproofer for Boots, Shoes, Saddles, and Gear.

This is a great product and does exactly what it says. Just be aware that the color will change to some degree. **Q: What are the ingredients?** A: Jamie, Our products are micro batched and hand made from the highest quality pine tar, beeswax with other ingredients used in specific tanning processes. The process is a trade secret that allows our product to effortlessly melt into leather and sets us apart from all other big name products. Thank you for your interest in Huberd Shoe Grease Co. products. Sincerely, Luna **Q: Can this be used on boots designed as waterproof?** A: If you read the negative reviews you will see many people have been significantly disappointed by this product inability to effectively waterproof boots. I just tried it for the first time today and... for the first time my feet became wet. Previously, I water/snow proofed with mink oil and never had a problem. The grease is better for reconditioning old leather but as waterproof? No. I'd recommend mink oil. **Q: Is it ok to apply over stitching? Will it affect in a negative way, the rubber sole of the boot if contacted? Does it come with an applicator?** A: It will protect the stitching as well as the leather, no negative effect to the boot or sole in any way. The shoe grease will protect the threading from soaking in water or getting dirty. No applicator comes with it, I highly recommend you use your finger to apply it on your boot. As you rub your finger over the shoe grease, it will become liquid like. A little goes a long way, don't apply it on thick, just give each boot 2 light coats and you should be good! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by L***K on April 26, 2026* Really loosen ups your boot for breaking them in.

TLDR: they waterproof boots excellently plus they soften them up ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best in class! *by H***S on April 7, 2026* I just retired after a 40 year career as an IBEW electrician.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Huberd’s Shoe Grease (7.5oz) - Leather conditioner and waterproofer since 1921.
