Nikwax

“I have heard a few horror stories about Nikwax degrading the leather of some boots. Has anyone out there had a problem with this product? I've just been brushing the crud from my Vasque Sojourner GTX's and then spraying them with silicone.”

“I've used Nikwax cleaning gel and liquid water proof. Never any problems.”

“i use it with good results, darkens lighter boots a little”

“bikini wax? waaa?”

“Ouch!!!”

“biz, where's your boyfriend? He may need to talk you down. :D”

“Silicone can destroy the stitching; once again, I use mink oil.”
