I have no experience with a body oil, but found that "Dawn" on a moistened sponge cleaned up olive oil spills very nicely. You can also try some denatured alcohol. ???? Good luck.

Have used Dawn but if that doesn't work maybe a degreaser? Would test it on inconspicuous spot first.

I had the exact same problem. I finally broke down and bought some extra tips. Supposedly you can soak them in acetone to clean the tips.(I think it needs to soak for 24 hrs.

I've had the same issues, so I took my to my neighborhood shoe maker. Old timer, who fixed it with ease. better than it was before. Did try local sporting good stores to no avail. Hope this help you.

No problems with mine. Have they always been that way, or has something possibly gotten around them? I periodically wipe mine down with alcohol wipes to remove any oils, creams, make-up etc. in addition to germs.

Put the pads on the bottom of feet, preferably after Evening shower and wear them to bed. Don't wear them inside a shoe. When you awake and remove them they should be dark and "dirty" looking which are toxins removed from your body. You Can use every night, until pads are clearer. Never re- use pads.

Only use one or the other...if you try to add oil on top of the Sno-Seal wax, it won't absorb into the leather. If your manufacturer recommends boot oil and you have used it and like it, stick with that, otherwise, pick up some Sno-Seal, I love it.

I have had success with leather boots that had a single "shot" of cat urine. I can't comment on "soaked" shoes. If the only other choice is to throw the shoes away, I would try Rocco & Roxie and maintain the shoes shape with scrunched up newspaper.

I would try rubbing in some baby oil and once it has mixed and lost its stickyness try rubbing in dishwashing liquid with a dash of water. If it comes away launder normally.Good luck.

i think it voids the warranty...use a soft scrub or soak them and whatever comes right off...

I had the same poor experience. Kept trying different things for months. Different heat, different oils, adding oil after the pan heated, etc. etc. After rubbing the skin off my finger for the 4th time trying to clean the stuck-on stuff off (even AFTER soaking all night) I figured it just wasn't worth it.

There is a self adhesive spot on the bottom of the heel, but if you don't use it they can be removed.

I agree with SRR - you just have to be sure to get it inserted all the way to the rubber boot, and remove it carefully as well. (I have scratch marks too, because I was hasty and didn't listen to my own advice - go figure)

I wash my daughters' heel cups with hand soap and luke warm water. I turn them inside out as well to ensure I get all the soap out.

I had the same problem earlier on, so I contacted the manufacturer and thought that i would be returning this. I got a prompt response. Basically it happens when oil builds up on the bottom (too much oil used or some of my oil seem to cause a problem more than others). They just told me to clean it well and dry overnight, which I did and it worked like a charm. Now I just rinse it with hot water before use and once a while put a tiny drop of Dawn in it and clean/dry with q-tip. I've had it for several months now and hadn't had any problems. It's in my kiddos' room and we use it nightly, they won't go to sleep without it. I do use it in the living room here and there too, as needed. Hope this helps :)

While this is an excellent product for conditioning and cleaner, I would say buy a new pair of gloves. Leather damaged by water is a loss. Like the other writer answered, you could try if you like. But I would forget paying for this and saving for another pair. Good luck.

@Oklahoma Girl ... I had the same problem with my feet feeling really dry afterward, but the instructions said don't use any other products on your feet until the peeling stopped. I think I'll try a daily soak next time I do it, as others have recommended. Nix Nix, you are probably going to want the socks. I live alone, and even I couldn't stand the trail of skin flakes going through my house! It's gross ... wonderfully gross, and so worth it, but not something I wanted to have to clean up!

Try a different room. Flat floor like tile or linoleum, not a rug or carpet. You need to do it barefoot, with no shoes or stockings on either foot.Different readings? How much difference?
