best boot conditioner??

[Chad44]

I just bought a new pair of zamberlan boots. I own obenauf's conditioner and wondered if that was good for these boots. In the directions it says use zamberlan stuff but dont want to wait.
thanks

If they are all leather, yes. Obenauf's LP is what I use.

It's that nubuck leather. Do you put it on before you wear them the first time?

I use obenauf's on the all leather boots as well. And Kenetrek stuff on Kenetrek mtn boots. Honestly, when I run out of obenauf's, I will probably use Kenetrek boot conditioner on all of them. It seems like good stuff. I even use it on stiff nubuck-like leather. Anything to get and keep some moisture in it and avoid cracking.

Actually, last fall in the hills, I rubbed bowstring wax into some really dry looking parts of my boots and it worked really well until I got home and treated them properly.not saying it's great for the leather or recommending it, but it worked for me.

Another vote for obenaufs. Good stuff and works great on all leather boots.

I use the Hydro Bloc that Zamberlan recommends. I like it much better than Obenaufs or anything else I have tried. I would recommend staying with that.

I have used Obenauf's as a wax on my longbow string.

Obernaufs. I use it on all leather. Axe sheaths to boots.

I too use only the Hydro Bloc that Zamberlan recommends on all my Zamberlan boots.

I use Obenauf's oil on all my high end boots with great results (Crispi, Hanwag, Lowa). Never use a wax unless the gore-tex leaks. It'll kill the breathability.
