Obenaufs oil works great on the inside of dress shoes to keep the leather
soft. I also use it on the outside of my Allen Edmonds dress shoes, let it
sink in and them polish as usual. It prevents the leather from cracking
after repeatedly getting wet in Seattle.

UPDATE:
I just put it on my Lems Russett Leather Boots and didn't darken the color
much, so the color still looks nice. 1.8mm full-grain leather. Gives a
shine to the leather and looks good. So I would say will be good for boots.
Will try my Lems dress shoes next. I think they are same leather
I have some Red Wing Heritage (model 2955) boots with Black “Spitfire” leather.
Sort of a rough out leather that’s not sueded. I’m thinking of hitting them
with a coat of Obenauf’s before/as the rain finally comes to the Bay Area.

it does darken brown shoes considerably. no matter what brown you started with,
after a while all your brown shoes are the same dark brown.
the shade of polish doesnt matter much.

It is importand to saddlesoap the leather first. otherwise the oil carries grit
into the leather and it
acts like an abrasive. that at least is the theory. i always do a three step of
Murpheys,
obenaufs and a good cream polish. this is a shoe routine but i do boots the
same way.

I did similar, setting them near a heat source to improve absorption and
also repeating application until it would absorb no more. I found that if
you get really good absorption, some of that will later be squeezed out of
the leather by flexing resulting in an increase of wax showing on the
I agree that Obenauf's works great on hiking boots and the like. On my
regular shoes, however, it proved to be a little trickier. Because of the
seams on the shoes, it was difficult to wipe off all of the residue that
wasn't fully absorbed by the leather. Though the shoes didn't feel sticky,
Mark uses Obenaufs on his work boots. I'm retired so my work boots just sit
these days, but did you know that Obenaufs makes the VERY BEST boot laces I've
ever had in my life. I wear Red Wing 877s (they used to be called Irish
Setters) and of course the laces they come with break within a few
I use Obenauf's on my work boots, too. Put some on my locally made leather
wallet, too. I would stick to a good shoe polish for dress shoes, though.
The polish will protect against a stroll in the rain down a city sidewalk.
Anything more and you might want to get a pair of galoshes. Good gosh,
Yep. Way better than mink oil.

I use it on my Redwing work boots. Works great. I am not sure what the
outcome would be on dress shoes. If they are lighter in color I imagine the
would darken considerably.
