If you need a "starter
boot" made similar in style, (not the same
quality though), try The
Pale Rider by OTF.
When you
saddle soap your leather work boots, to clean them, use
Leather Balm or boot oils of some sort to add back
conditioner. Mink Oil, or Snow Seal
the leathers right before you go into a lot of manure,
or mud. This weatherproofs your leather. Be sure and
use an old toothbrush to get into all the tight spots.
(I like to use a hair dryer about 6 inches to a foot
away, to open the pores of the leather allowing the
waxy stuff (waterproofing compound) to penetrate into
the leather. You can really watch it soak in.) If they get really covered in muck, you can
just squirt them off with a water hose before you tote
"all that" into your house. (You might
be cool at the stockyards, to walk around looking like
ya did something. But, that ain't cool coming into
Momma's house!) If wet,
allow them to dry at room temperature, then just add
another coat of conditioner. Conditioners will darken
your leathers because they add moisture balance. As
the leathers dry out, they will return to
"almost" the same color as new. - Taking
care of your boots will make them last much longer
than not.
