Is Firm still the way to go even for creeper soles, Rick 2010 creeper boots to be exact? Do they fill in the extreme heel drag that I definitely stupidly allowed to happen or should I look into getting full replacement soles altogether? Never had to get this done before, any help is appreciated! Lookin at you, Faust!Originally posted by FaustHOBBY?! HOBBY?!?!?!?!?!

depends on the sole.. if its leather, you should add a rubber sole.
aside from the sole, leather in the winter is fine unless they get thoroughly wet constantly. if there is some snow, I don't avoid wearing leather shoes, but if there is a ton or its really wet / slushy, I'll go with something else."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

When I wear leather boots in the winter I just make sure to wipe them down with plain water as soon as possible. I was able to completely avoid any salt stains through last year with my boots doing this, but just be careful where possible, don't go jumping in puddles or running through snow banks.

Reposting from small questions thread:
I used some turpentine to get oil paint off some Guidi leather derbies. Paint was removed but the surface of the leather seems a bit dry now. How do I get that subtle, rich guidi lustre back? I'm prepared to use mink oil and buff it---or should I just take em to Firm? Please help!

Recently I bought layer-0 boots and the heel part is split to two and I was wondering if i should take one layout off wooden upper heel and place to rubber... I went to cobbler today and told me wooden heel part gonna last long, just need to replace on upper sole.
Anyone fully re-soled layer-0 boots or do you guys just placed upper sole?

I just had a thin rubber put the sole and left the heel as it was with the factory rubber on the back corner. They will last just fine like that, most friction is on the very back of the heel any way."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

So here's how they started:
I removed the laces, used a shoe brush to brush off any dirt, and used a welt brush for the welt. Then I used a clean microfiber cloth to apply the Renovateur, using only a bit here and there.
Left side in this picture is before Renovateur, right side is after:
After that I waited a few minutes, brushed again, then applied the black shoe cream with a small bristle brush working it over all the leather. Waited another few mins, then used a buffing cloth to get them to this stage:
And finally, laced back up:
