Hello /diy/. Meet my babies. I've loved theese steel toe Shellys Ranges boots for four years now. I've used them for construction work, fighting, kicking everything, everyone and anything. It's really been a wildride, and i'm very much in love with them. I'm going to replace the outsole and the laces pretty soon, and they've always been smothered and polished with kiwi. My concerns are theese (see first post) "Scruff marks?" No idea how to call them, flakes? The leather seems to have cracked up. It's not all the way through, but still. I really want to get rid of this, and make my boots great again. This is the best place to come for advice, so shoot at me /diy/

Get some vaseline, warm it a bit and rub it into the leather. It helps condition and soften the cracks.
Once you've done it, warm up half beeswax, half vaseline, mix together, put it on the boots whilst still warm, rub it well in.

It's either super dry leather or shitty kiwi wax buildup

Will it "Glue" the cracks back, or? I'll try. I've heard of sanding them.

Then all you can do is condition them. I use Huberd's shoe grease or Obenaufs LP the most at the boot repair shop I work at

You realise those are women's boots, right?
>>
>>1148494
There are MANY cuts and scratches on the steel toe. But i do my best to keep them at prime condition. This was a problem i was not able to avoid sadly.

>paratrooper length boots
They're a bit out there for most people, and I personally wouldn't wear them, but the style has masculine origins.
