Cobbler's Choice Leather Cream

Product Information

Saphir Natural Smooth Leather Conditioner is an excellent choice for protecting and restoring your beloved cowboy boots. That’s pretty darn inexpensive for the quality. It’s hard to compare different leather conditioners because they all vary so much in ingredients. An example of an uber cheap option is Sof Sole’s Mink Oil, but it darkens boots a ton and it’s mostly made from beef fat. Other than that, if you’re looking for a versatile product, then Obenauf’s conditioner is the perfect answer. I put ‘em on Chromexcel leather, which is pretty much the most popular leather for nice men’s boots, and it did a phenomenal job of covering up scuffs, moisturizing leather, and boosting water resistance, all while barely changing the color at all. The softening of the leather also means it can be really useful for helping you break in tough boots, so I’d probably recommend these on any pair of Red Wing Heritage boots, which are notoriously tough to break in. Note that the Leather Conditioner is the same ingredients you’ll get in the Leather Cream, but the cream has more beeswax, so it’s harder and it provides a stronger layer of waterproofing. But it darkens boots a little bit more, which is pretty common when you’re trying to waterproof your boots. But our main purpose to day is conditioning.

The leather conditioner has natural ingredients that can work on the leather fibers to improve their texture. Pros: Obviously, I need different attributes of my footwear than many of your readers, but I still appreciate quality craftsmanship. It is vitally important that you understand it will darken your leather boots.I tried it on some Chromexcel Captain boots and they were never the same again: blotchy, oily, their famous depth of color ruined. But if you have some tough leather boots, like a pair of Red Wings I used in my review, and you just want them to be able to withstand the elements? Huberd’s is great. On top of that, this conditioner has a pleasant, natural scent that won’t overpower the smell of your boots. With regular use, your cowboy boots should last you a long time.

Review: Cobbler’s Choice Leather Conditioner on Viberg Boots

Cobbler’s Choice is the best leather conditioner for boots. In my review I used it on 700-dollar Viberg boots — boots you really don’t want to mess up — and couldn’t have been happier with the results. Why?

1. Prep Your Boots or Shoes

No alcohol or solvents — some prefer conditioners with these ingredients to enhance the cleaning properties. It also helps to restore the original color and texture of the leather by working on natural oils and waxes within the leather. Most conditioners will do a good job of moisturizing leather or improving weather resistance or covering up scuffs, but Cobbler’s Choice does all three with aplomb. Cobblers Choice Conditioner also offers an excellent option for keeping your cowboy boots in top shape.
