Troubleshooting

Boots appear too oily after application.

Wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth and allow more time for absorption.

Water still penetrates the leather.

Ensure thorough application, especially on seams. Consider a second application for heavily exposed areas.

Leather color appears altered.

This is normal. The oil can darken the leather initially. This should even out over time. Test in an inconspicuous area first to be sure.
