WILF 48,094 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Try a small spot of meths on them mate see if that lifts it. If not, a drop of bleach. Then just wax them back to the same colour.......it works on wood for oil, don’t know about leather but worth a try maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

About 1 pair a season I go through. Expand I have some of these. Bnwt £50 on eBay.. I like them a lot but only had them about 6 week so dont know how they will last yet.

And put them in the sun after applying.they seem to soak up the renapur better in the sun. And give the back of the ankle area a good coating aswell as they will split there if the leather drys out to much. And another thing that helps when walking miles in them. adjust the laces like this as it takes a lot of the stiffness out of the front were They bend. Sounds daft but it works for me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
