Is this going to soften the leather? I'm looking for something to soften the back of my Sperry's to where they don't blister as much.

It will soften the leather ! I use it once a week to keep looking new and soft!

That's a tough one. My Sperry's are pretty substantial at the back for support. I have used the product on my every day shoes and have luck with the product at the front of the shoe. Have you tried wooden shoe stretchers, along w/a product like this-might work.

It would definitely sew soft leather such as that used in clothing,etc, but probably not shoe type leather. I think they make a smooth foot that should be used when sewing leather to keep from scratching the leather with the standard ribbed walking foot. Hope this helps.

Sure, it will work on all leathers. But I'd find a shoe polish that already contains conditioner as well as the color of the shoe. Just my thoughts. Some other really good products to also consider are: Bee Kind or Saphir.

I,ve used this stuff called camp dry basically the same stuff dry silicone and it want hurt anything but keep your leather or synthetic shoe's dry.

I am going to try this cream with silcone heel socks- which works great to reduce the pain from standing on crakced heels. Let us know if you tried it!

The bristles ARE stiffer than most. However, I have used them on my sneakers (including the sides of the sneakers). The key is to not be overly aggressive. Go slow until you are confident it is not going to damage your shoes.

No, not really. The best thing to do is to buy shoe trees (wood, if possible) and stretch the leather a small bit at a time.

I think these will make your shoes too tight. I use mine in running shoes (much roomier than HH). For HH I would get the thin cushion type of insoles for HH. That should make them more comfortable without taking up too much room. You may even be able to peel out the old rough insole and put in the softer ones thereby taking up even less room.

I have not. I'd imagine a warm damp cloth would be best. I'd probably try that before I went to leather cleaner and shoe polish. I've found that the buffing is the most important part for not having the polish rub off on you.

It is more of a conditioner. Moisturizers & makes the leather look less dry. Will cover very minimal scratches. It will not help with gouges & deep scratches.

I'd probably say it will soften and darken the leather. As for ruining the boots, it depends on the type of boots, age, and condition of the leather uppers. If the boots have leather uppers that are worn, scruff, feeling powdery to the touch, then probably not. On the contrary, it might revive the boots and give the leather uppers another year or so--such was the case with my keen hiking boots. If the boots are new and have much of the leather uppers intact, I would say let it be. But I would value the opinions from folks with more hiking experience and those who own more technical hiking boots. hope this info helps.

Absolutely! It may not remove the cracks right away, so be patient and just faithfully use it a couple of times a week for a few minutes or however long you feel is good. I've been using mine for a few months now (since Jan/15) and am very happy with the results. I still have an indentation from a deep crack, but it's not painful anymore! Heels are smooth and very presentable. I'm very grateful for my MicroPedi ;p

I have used it on all of my fabric shoes. Suede, cloth, brushed leather etc. I have done really light coats and very heavy coats. It does darken them while they are wet, but as they dry they seem to be revert back to very close to their original color.

Not really. It helped with the smell of my feet but did not make them softer. Try coconut oil?

I see on the bottle it specifically says to NOT use it on "suede, roughout or napped leathers" - but I also see Bick's has their own separate suede and nubuck cleaner. Good luck!

I can't say for sure it will make the texture like new? I can say it will make the leather soft again. If the leather has faded at all it will darken it and be soft and waterproof.

Never considered that. All use I know of has been for smooth work leather. Email the vendor or Russell Moccasin for guidance. They are both super folks
