Huberd’s Shoe Grease (7.5oz) - Leather conditioner and waterproofer since 1921. Waterproofs, softens and conditions boots, shoes, bags, belts, jackets, car seats, gloves, furniture, saddles and tack.

At the time of this review, I have used the same 7.5 oz can of Huberd's for more than 5 years, and I still have about a third of it left. I use it two pairs of leather boots (combat boot, and motorcycle boot) about once or twice a year - that's all they need. To use, simply put it in your oven on a low temperature to heat up the can. At this point the grease should be a liquid. Use a screwdriver or your fingers to open the lid, dip a latex gloved finger in the liquid, and apply onto the cleaned leather. Apply generously to the stitching or any seams (including sole seams).This stuff is so powerful it'll restore and waterproof any dry and nasty leather you can throw at it. I wouldn't use it on any furniture since it'll almost certainly darken it and make it greasy. But I would absolutely recommend it for any leather boot or any kind of thick or tough-wearing leather (slings, pouches, tack, maybe an old leather jacket). I have even used this product to reseal my pair of leaky motorcycle boots. I'm sure there is at least one pinhole leak in those boots but as long as I remain diligent and apply this grease once every six months, my feet stay completely dry, even in a downpour at 60 mph. Saves me $300+ on a new pair of motorcycle boots! Quality product, would buy again.

This is my first time trying a pine tar conditioner. I have used mink oil for years. I admit that I like the smell of milk oil better, but this stuff works wonders and a dab will do ya. It doesn't smell bad, it smells exactly like I smell after a prescribed fire in the woods: like a campfire.It definitely darkens leather, but my boots were black from walking through burned vegetation. I was worried I ruined nearly $300 boots... But look how nice the right one looks compared to the left one (which was already saddle soaped, btw).I think this will last me a very long time. I apply it to my leather field hats as well.

This stuff is amazing. Keeps my work boots in great condition. Found another use! Use it on your old and new baseball gloves. Keeps the old leather useful and helps my kids break in their new gloves.

Seems pretty nice as a leather conditioner, don’t know how water proof or how well it will hold up yet and it does have a pretty strong campfire or wooden type smell at first, I put the grease on my new boots and it definitely darkened them but I like the look and it took out a lot of the scratches and scuffs. I followed the directions, first I put the can in a bowl of warm water and stirred the grease with a butter knife applied a coat over the boots using a gloved hand, let that soak in a bit then applied another coat, waited a bit then wiped it off with a microfiber cloth, im sure if I would have just applied it lightly with the cloth and wiped it off it wouldn’t have turned out so dark but I’m happy so far.

Highly recommend this product. I heard about this from and old timer who has used this on his work boots for years. It’s exactly what he said it was. Perfect way to waterproof and soften your leather work boots without damaging stitching like the mink oil I have used for years. The smell of this product isn’t strong so applying indoors is a pleasant experience. This product can be applied as much as needed without breaking down your boots like so many other products that are out there to do the same thing. I will be using this product for the rest of my days. Oh also the amount of product in the can will last a long time for the working person that wears there boots daily.

I have multiple pairs of boots, Timberland Mt. Maddsen hiking boots, Mcrae Gen 2 Jungle boots, and Rocky lace up jump boots.The shoe grease helped break in each pair after multiple layers were applied, it also waterproofed the jump boots which weren't sealed properly. It has a bacon-y smell that goes away after a week.

So I was hesitant to put 5 stars, but I was warned that it may darken leather. Boy, did it ever darken it. But I'm actually not displeased at all since this more closely matches a lot of other leather belts I have.It looks like axle grease, smells faintly of pine camp fire, and melts into the leather with the heat of your finger.I cannot attest to the waterproofing, but on basically new shoes, the leather is even more supple than before and it's very soft to touch.I'd buy again, but be warned, if you bought your shoes for a specific color, you may not like the results. Mine went from a khaki/camel color to deep reddish brown.These are Thorogood American Heritage moctoe in tobacco color.

Very good product.I whant to share this pictures so you all can have an idea of how the boots will look after apllicaton.
