Btw, Kato, what polish is that? I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to which polish/natural paste wax to use. I generally just slap some Pecards or mink oil on my boots, but you got me rethinking things...Saphir Rejuvinator seems to be a popular choice. Your preference?

This is The Boot Black polish (as shown in my picture) in neutral color, the Saphir Bee wax can reach the same polish effect as well. ( while I feel that Boot Black do the better polish job a little bit )

I won't suggest to use Mink Oil especially for work boots in light or brown color (especailly the BADALASSI leather), it has made my Wesco Boss from brown color to very dark brown. And it seems cannot acheive such shinning effect as well.

I am using the very fine cotton twill fabric ( for making dress shirt) to polish my boots

Many thanks for the pointers, bro! Wear your latest beauties in good health!

This is the picture I polish m vintage Reding Pecos (this is the same shoes in the background before polish, you can find the terrible scar on it )

I am just simple using this polish for my vintage Pecosboots:

FYI, it will make the boots color one tone darker ( it is because the same color tone polish is not available, I hv no choice to use the dark brown polish ) but the polish effect is amazing and impressive.

Thanks. BTW doesn't Wesco still send their own recommended wax with each new pair?

Yessir, albeit a small sample of it

I finally received my Wesco Boss from Hukurokuju yesterday!

Of course I hv to polished my lovely boots at once

The broken buckle in my hand is the original Wesco buckle. the quality is ridiculous !

The replacement of new Vibram heels, and Hukurokuju reshape the heels for me.
