Description

I have been so impressed with the waterproofing qualities of the product, and its ease of use, that I have decided to use it on my other leather hiking boots etc.

Brush in Leder-Gris® Xtreme when the boots are ALMOST dry, use the brush to drive the wax-oil INTO the leather, ALWAYS treat with Leder-Gris® before storage. Apply with a ‘putting on’ brush and buff vigorously into the surface of the leather, pay special attention to putting Leder-Gris into seams and areas where the boot flexes.The oil goes deeper into the leather and helps to maintain the leather's suppleness by replacing leather oils lost during the drying out process. The formulation of Leder-Gris wax oil paste will also give a longer shelf life after the PET screw top container has been opened. For more extreme environments, Leder-Gris Xtreme is more suited to heavier water repellent leathers that are consistently being wet and dried.

PET - clear container made from recycled plastics - the aluminium lid and PET container are fully recyclable. Some years ago I realised that in more extreme conditions a different type of bootcare was necessary to complement our existing Leder-Gris wax. The 50% wax and 50% oil in Leder Gris Xtreme help to soften the leather on application and provide waterproofing as it dries which over time will increase the time before leather will crack.

The ideal way to treat your boots with Leder-Gris is to brush the wax-oil into almost dry boots - having the boots almost dry aids how the wax oil soaks into the leather. All leather will eventually show signs of cracking where the boot leather flexes, however, drying boots too quickly may shrink the boots and will also harden the leather and accelerate flex cracking – regular treatment of Leder-Gris will extend the time before cracking occurs. In this video the Altberg bootmaker gives a demonstration and practical advice on how to treat leather to enhance water repellency and delay the onset of flex cracking of the leather.
