Is this safe for use on unfinished leather boots?

I would check with a leather person. I am not sure about "unfinished" leather

I'm not sure I would use it for that purpose. I believe it's designed for leather boots, brief cases etc. Its more of a conditioner than a cleaner.

It doesn't waterproof boots it just cleans them, to condition leather boots you need to wash yiour boots with this soap then let them dry completely.then you apply leather conditioner.

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 dont think so as it might be chemically too harsh. I would also be worried about the finish it will leave on the leather - its a bit sticky almost tacky and doesn't buff off well. I think your better off finding a natural product, just make sure you test whatever you use so it doesnt darken the leather.

Applying it to the inside is in my opinion not a good idea. The leather that lines the inside of a boot is quite different than the outside leather. A good thing to remember about the inside of the boot is that it normally absorbs the sweat from your foot. The sweat contains nothing but a salt solution. Salt is a major enemy of leather! It dries the leather out. When the leather dries it cracks. I would suggest you treat the inside with a solution of water and vinegar. This solution will draw any salt that is in the leather out. I would lightly rub into the leather the leather honey. Always keep some vinegar around when you are taking care of your leather footwear. It will definitely give longer life to your leather products. How much cheaper can you go than vinegar! I restored a 100 year old saddle that was so stiff and brittle I thought it would break! The stiffness was caused by many many years of salt from the horse and the rider. It took a bunch of treatments to bring the leather into a pliable state.. I used Leather Honey in the final stages and the leather was soft and totally restored! I hope this helps with your questions. My answer is based on my experience of over 40 years in the leather industry!

I have used it on washable suede like boots. It worked terrifically on them. No color or texture change.

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.

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!

I apply the snow seal and then use a hair dryer to warm the leather. Then rub the snow seal into the leather while the boot is still warm. The boots won't absorb 100 percent of the sealer so you will have a greasy looking boot for the first few times you wear them but that will diminish with time. I love this stuff! Keeps your feet DRY inside the boots.

No, but that just sounds like a bad idea. It's like sandpaper on the bottom of your shoes. You'll end up scratching floors. They make specific products for leather soled shoes.

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.

Yes. I buy it to use on all my suede boots. That's why I buy it. I have used it on many pairs. It might look a little wet, but will dry normal. Do not spay too close to the boots.

Quite possibly, most of these shoe stretch products say not to but I used it on a pair of sneakers with suede and it stretched the leather just fine. The suede was black and I didn't see any discoloration. I'd recommend you try it in a hard to see spot first though, just in case.

I have been using it on a new pair of Doc Marten loafers. Not really dress shoes, but nicer than my boots and romeos. It works really well, and keeps them looking new. As for the finish on your dress shoes, that I do not know. If the shoes can take a treatment like this rather than just polish, I think it should be fine. But, like Gary said, I would check a small area first.

Don't know how it would work on boots. I applied it to a wooden dock that was very slippery when wet and it eliminated the problem. I used the whole packet mixed into 1 gal. of porch & deck paint. Highly recommend for that type of problem.
