Best ever
By J. Ediger
I began using LP in 1996 when I started fighting forest fires in Northern Idaho. Funny enough, thats where and why it was invented. The store where I bought my fire boots (huge, bomb-proof logger boots) told me that this was what I should use.
The boots took five years of every kind of abuse from submersion to heat to wood ash and LP kept them soft, waterproof and wearable. I tromped through fire and ash, planted trees in spring rains, crossed creeks and slogged through knee-deep mud and as long as I wasnt actually working in the creek all day, my feet stayed pretty dry--no blisters.
I use it on my work and hunting boots now and, though it will darken lighter leather, there is nothing better. I have used mink oil (terrible), pure lanolin (not bad), sno-seal, pure bees wax (a close 2nd), and silicone (smelly) and this is the real deal. I also use it on leather gloves and baseball mitts; anything leather that needs moistened, softened or waterproofed.
Do n't expect anything to permanently waterproof boots. This will not give you the same protection of rubber boots and if they are cheaply made no grease or wax will keep water out of loose stiching.
I don't usually melt it; the heat from your fingers applying it is usually good enough though once in a while I set them near the wood stove (3-4 feet away, no closer) to let it penetrate.
Clean leather is better of course but even if you can't get them clean it can be applied to dirty leather with pretty good results.
I will never use anything else.

Best Stuff Ever
By J. M. M.
I love this product! I use it on my cowboy boots that I actually wear at the barn to ride horses. Those boots see mud, dirt, animal droppings, you name it...and they wipe off cleanly and my boots still look fantastic and new! (You can even still see the green threaded designs on the top of the foot as being green! The mud couldn't stain the thread!)

The only negative I've found with this product is that you rarely ever have to reapply it! (Which isn't really a negative!) I reapplied after a few months (like I would with cheaper, not-as-good products) and the finish on my boots got waxy and the wax cracked from too many layers of the product. (Which I easily washed/lightly scrubbed off the excess and the boots looked great again.) So basically, don't use too much! You'll be surprised at how little you really need to make it work...don't put it on thick! I ordered the larger tub offered and I will honestly never use it up. (And trust me...I have A LOT of shoes.) If you only have a few pairs you're thinking of using this product on, get the smaller tub...you'll still have plenty left over for all your friends and family.

This stuff is so good, I put it on a very old pair of boots that I had and later took the boots into a shoemaker to be repaired and he couldn't apply his special chemicals too the boots...the chemicals rolled right off! (Possible negative...he couldn't get the product OFF the boots to put the chemicals on, so he ended up not being able to repair them.) He had never seen anything like it so he ordered a hug tub himself to use in his shop for firefighter boots!

Great for boots
By GregP
This is the best leather conditioner I know of for boots and outdoorsy-type shoes. I use them on desert boots, Wallabies, LL Bean Moccasins (leather, not suede), etc. It helps to melt it into the leather with a hair dryer to make it absorb, or just leave them in the sun for a few hours. Highly recommended for anything you don't want to be too shiny, but want to take care of.
