Altberg Leder-Gris Waterproof Boot Wax / Oil For Leather Boots 80g Tin (Brown)

Product Information

Specifically formulated from waxes and synthetic oils developed specifically for use on all modern water repellent leather - used on most makes of leather hiking, military, police boots and shoes.

This waterproofing wax is easy to use - simply apply the wax oil to leather boots or shoes with a brush to ensure the oils penetrate deep into the leather. I've been attempting to do some reading up on boot care as I'd like to get a proper regime setup. Well more in the line of preserving and waterproofing the leather/boot. At that time in Leicester there was a bootcare company - Allen & Caswell - and with them I worked on the problem of finding a wax oil that would be compatible with modern leather. The result was Leder-Gris.Occasional use only: to restore leather oils lost during drying out, after boots have been extremely wet The oil in the Leder Gris has been designed to replace the natural oils in the leather, which can be lost when boots dry out. Timescale to deal with your claim - for technical faults or repairs we use the services of the original manufacturer or nominated agent for inspection, testing and high quality guaranteed repairs. Please allow a reasonable timescale for completion of this process, customer services can advise further as this does vary between products. In most cases Leder-Gris® Original is all you will ever need assuming you clean and wax the boots regularly. Leder-Gris® Xtreme is for occasional use to soften leather if you have neglected to regularly clean and wax them and finally Leder-Glӧs™ is for girls or for blokes who have bigger blokes shouting and swearing at them because their boots aren't shiny enough. Stay away from the Leder-Glӧs™ you don't need it. I always thought that dubbing was a good way to go and some of the internet posts I've googled support that as well. Then some other thoughts are that dubbing is fine for leather but not so good for the stiches and glue on the soles. (something the pro camp don't mention).

As far as brushes go I just buy the cheap 2 in a box type from the supermarket and replace as and when needed. Can't see the point in spending a fortune on them. The original waterproofing wax, Altberg Leder Gris is ideal for treating your medium and heavy leather boots. Leder-Gris paste also has a longer shelf life after opening and first use. Leder-Gris Wax Oil Original Should I also be looking at treating the inside leather parts as well? Would lanolin suffice for that? If leather shows signs of hardening, or after use in extreme wet conditions, use Leder-Gris® Xtreme as a ‘one-off’ treatment

If after receipt of your claim form the product needs to be returned to us, we will provide a pre-paid return label or arrange collection for larger / heavier items, customer services will let you know how to proceed. Leder-Gris original is suitable for all types of footwear used in average UK conditions and will not significantly soften leather.
