Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Leather Boot Conditioner is an essential maintenance product designed for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who want to extend the lifespan of their leather footwear. It provides a superior water-repellent barrier and revives the appearance of worn leather, ensuring your boots remain supple and protected against the elements. While it is highly effective at restoring luster and adding protection, it is important to note that users should perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area of the boot first to ensure desired results on specific leather types.

FAQs
Can I use this on my suede hiking boots?
No, this conditioner is specifically formulated for smooth leather and may ruin the nap and texture of suede or nubuck.
How often should I condition my boots?
It depends on usage, but for frequent hikers, applying every few weeks or whenever the leather appears dry is recommended.
Will this make my boots waterproof?
It provides significant water repellency, but it is not a substitute for waterproof membranes (like Gore-Tex) inside the boot.
Do I need to wait before wearing my boots after applying?
Yes, allow the conditioner to fully absorb and dry for several hours before heading out on a hike.
Will this product change the color of my leather?
Generally, it does not change the look; however, it can cause slight darkening on very light or porous leather, so always patch test first.
Troubleshooting
Conditioner is not soaking into the leather
Ensure the leather is clean and free of old polish or wax build-up; if build-up is thick, use a dedicated leather cleaner first.
Leather looks uneven after drying
Apply a second, lighter coat to the drier areas and buff the entire boot thoroughly with a dry cloth to ensure an even finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your boots are cleaned of all surface mud and debris before application, ideally using a brush and a damp cloth. Allow the leather to air dry completely—avoid using direct heat sources like radiators, as these can cause leather to warp. Apply a small amount of the conditioner to a soft cloth and massage it into the leather in circular motions. Let it absorb into the surface for several minutes, then buff away any excess with a clean, dry cloth. This product is compatible with most smooth, full-grain, and corrected-grain leather hiking boots. Always store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the chemical integrity of the formula.
