Really want to start cleaning and oiling my leather work boots.

Have several black/brown ones and several LL BEAN  & Red Wing boots that need a lot of care.

What are you using for brushes? Oils?

What are some great instructional videos to watch?

Thank you

Just recently went on a shoe buying and restoration frenzy. Watched some tutorials from The Elegant Oxford on YouTube. Picked up a shine kit by Footfitter on Amazon. The brushes and shoe creme in the kit worked well and got me started. Then I got into some shoes that needed more so I picked up some Saphir Renovateur for cleaning and conditioning, Saphir renovating creme to repair deep scratches and Saphir Pommadier Creme polish.

Not perfect but much better.
I just picked up a vintage pair of Canadian made Sorel pack boots and am trying something new. A good cleaning with saddle soap and some Huberd's shoe grease. It's supposed to condition and waterproof the leather. It did darken the leather slightly but it appears to work as advertised and is easy to apply. I already did my Redwing work boots with Snoseal earlier this year but may be switching to the Huberd's in the future if it holds up.

I use Obenauf's LP for all my boots and leather shoes.  It repels water and extends the life of the leather.
