Huberds shoe oil

[MH Hawker]

I don't know how many or if any out you all use this. Its a leather conditioner I have used for 20 plus years I use it on ever new set of leather shoes I have owned. I use it to ease break in and add life, and I just ran out and the local store has went out of business, but I was very re leaved to find it on line. Thought I would toss it out there.

If I have some leather that needs to be broken in I use Mink Oil. It softens and water proofs at the same time. I have never heard of Hubred's. Maybe its a southern product only?

Best leather conditioner that I have ever used is neatsfoot oil....second best is castor oil.
Neatsfoot oil is available at Walmart, Lowes, or HD.

Wouldja' believe that I've been using coconut oil the last few years? It's actually been working pretty well.

I had forgotten all about this but my father used to use it all the time. I still have one of his old cans but it's all dried out now. This is probably from the 1960's.

Re: Huberds shoe oil

I ran across it in 1975 when I went to work in the coal mines, I didn't like wearing the rubber boots most of the men used ( no ankle support ) and wore leather ones. Their was only one small local shoe shop around in those days that carried them and the owner gave a can of the oil out with a new pair of boots, I was often wading in water all day and I could get a year out of a set before they wore so bad they started leaking and in those days that was unheard of, so I have used it ever since.

It used to be once a week with the saddle soap to clean the boots then a coating of linsead oil, until the rag with the oil caught fire!!


Then it was just neats foot from that point on.
