Rubbed warmed up boots with the cloth saturated with Obenaufs. Repeated after 4 hours. Boots look matte and attract dirt, what did I do wrong?

You followed the same directions they gave me and unfortunately ended up with the same mess I have with a couch, chair, & ottoman. I am having a H... of a time trying to get it off and am afraid my things are ruined. Hope you have better luck. I personally will never use this product on anything ever again & I have 3 containers of it.

Nothing, that's just the appearance right after oiling. Let them dry overnight and where your boots for a week, they will look just fine after a 3-4 days.

I think you put too much on. Usually apply a thin coat by rubbing it on with my finger, then let the boots sit somewhere warm.

YOU DID NOTHING WRONG! That's the ugly little secret manufactures don't advertise. It changed the color of my boots and attracts dirt. The only boots itLooks good on are BLACK boots, and they attract dirt.

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 not use this product on any leather unless it was for the purpose of significantly conditioning boots that are exposed to rain, snow or mud. First, it will darken leather. Next, even though it will soak into boot leather it will take at least 48 hours before the leather loses its "greasy feel". I would NEVER use thus on a jacket or vest. I would use a good leather conditioner such as Bick's #4 and then use a neutral cream or colored cream to touch up if necessary. LP is an excellent product for boots used in harsh conditions such as construction, hiking or winter weather. I apply it 3 times per year for that purpose. Never on anything else!

No, not too difficult but plan on getting at least one dirty finger. Start with clean, dry boots. Stick a finger in the jar and start smearing Sno-Seal all over the boots, but don't put it on too thick. After both boots are covered, go over them with an electric hair dryer (set on high) to get the stuff to soak into the leather. I guess you could use a cloth to apply the Sno-Seal, but then you miss half the fun!

I just sprayed and put on the boots. They stretched while I was walking. But I guess you can use the proper shoe stretcher.

That sounds like a fungus. I would give it a try. When my machine turned an ugly brown, after 8 years, this product took care of it in one use.

I've had things that I've touched with a hot iron by accident that melted and turned brown. It looked like burned sugar, maybe. They were small spots on the edge of the sole plate but I was able to remove them with this cleaner. It may take more than one application though.

My work boots do scuff the logo. Dirt and mud will clean up with no problem.

Set some light fire to it and the real leather wouldn't melt, and the light blemish washes off fast. Fake leather would be caked. That's what my old folks taught me. :)

I tried in a polyester suede jacket and it worked fine for the first time, but second time the collar and scuff were lightly soiled and although I followed all the instructions it couldn't remove all the dirt, since polyester and soil have affinity it needs a stronger agent like water or perc. I recommend hand wash and hang to dry or dry cleaning with hydrocarbon, a modern solvent more delicate and eco friendly. FYI I am a laundry owner.

I painted a pair of boots i have. Theyre not real leather but that fake shiny pleather and it worked great. It stuck really well. It covered nicely. I painted a black boot red and none of the black came through. It dried quickly. I did it overnight. I only used maybe two coats.

There are two possibilities, one of them being that you simply put more on the boots than they could absorb. The other possibility is that your boots were too cold to absorb but little of the snow seal. Thus, heating your boots (I have had the best results with sunlight) should probably work better.

Best to treat boots with a spray first to try to tone odor down, let dry, then put in. Will help some but how much I am not sure. Best to use as a preventative measure.

I gave up after trying nail polish remover, acetone, goo-gone. After it dried, I used steel wool and soap. Some came off but ultimately I just left it there on my fingertips and it finally wore off a few days later. Good luck and wear gloves next time.

I use the Boot Cream, but I didn't know there was any difference. I have used it on other leather other than shoes and boots too.

I clean the boot first with a brush to get all the dirt off. then I put it in the oven for a couple of minutesget them good and warm. then pull them out put one hand down inside the boot then I use a rag of some sort to put it on. the heat will just draw the product all the way deep into the leather you just keep wiping it on until the leather becomes saturated. this will last more than a year maybe 2 depending on how much you wear them

It would be like applying grease or a thick polish. Use a hair dryer and warm the shoe and apply by rubbing in . Then wipe off excess.
