My dad always used to say that the first thing you should do to a new pair of leather shoes or boots is polish them. Because he said it, I have done it over the years without ever really knowing why. Shoes have received a polish and boots, particularly outdoors ones, have been given a daubing with Nikwax/Leder Gris or whatever outdoorsy preparation was to hand. Is this right? Is it a good idea to cover new leather with oily protection? Does it help preserve the leather of the footwear that bit longer or is it an out-of-date habit that is actually not much use?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and reasons on the subject!
Tot ziens!
