  1. Wow, wish I knew about this 'Paste Wax' stuff before. Works great! http://media.gunmonkeynet.net/u/nybill/m/fixing-up-some-old-red-wings/

      1. @mcnalu I was thinking to throw them out! The leather was so dried out I was soon to wear through them to the steel toe. This paste wax stuff could have helped me save some boots in the past! #

    2. @nybill treat leather well and it will survive a loooong time! I've had to throw out 15-year old shoes because the soles were irreparably broken, the leather still fine :(

      1. @mk Bring them to a cobbler! They can usually patch up the soles. (Or put new ones on when its a Goodyear welt.) I threw old boots out when the leather started letting water through (due to wearing thin or holes right through.)

        1. @nybill I did! A good one, too. They were beyond hope.

          1. @mk Fair enough. I realize now, some of mine weren't. I gave up in them too quickly. #
