How to take care of leather hiking boots? I bought a pair of razorbacks, but I have no clue of how to take care of leather? And how to break them in? Help me /out/

you wear them and go through the suffering until they are comfy. otherwise you could piss into them unironically thats how german soldiers did it back in ze day. my granny said something in the piss makes the leather smooth.

get something like this and apply a couple of times a year depending on use.

Bick 4. It's a general purpose conditioner. Soak a rag with it and wipe it down. Do this once a week forever and the leather will stay in good shape. I use it on horse tack, motorcycle riding gear, and work boots. It's great and it's cheap. You can buy it by the gallon at horse supply stores.

Basically, leather needs both wax and fat, but not too much of the latter.

I just use some generic leather balm that I got at the shoe store, works fine.

To break them in, wear them. Around the house for a bit, then out for a few walks, then out for a few hikes. I don't have any experience with that brand, but the break-in period can be a bitch, so don't take them out for a long hike/walk the first time.
For care, every time you wear them outside, brush them off with a good shoe brush. Once in a while, condition them with something. I like mink oil for various reasons, but if you are in a wet climate you might need something waxier.
Congrats on the new boots, Anon.

Or you could just rub them down with some bick4 or mink oil. Unless you're just really into the piss thing.

Tou have to apply lard , tallow in them.
If it is real leather. If it was a fake, it does.not matter. In less than a year of use it will be destroyed.
but for real leather, gotta keep it always oiled.
