Reply to comment by Githyerazi in My wife was begging me to buy new boots today since my LL Bean Katahdins are like 13 years old so instead I bought some leather oil and new laces for the first time! by Morphabond

I think oil was a much better idea

Depends on the look you're going for. Oil is great for preserving leather. Polish evens out the color and makes the shoes shine.

Yea, the guy proudly posted 13 year old boots. I’m thinking he’s not going to want a flat black, undifferentiated surface, like every other pair of boots out there. I’m thinking he likes what he’s got and wants to enhance it.
