Altberg Leder-Gris Waterproof Boot Wax / Oil For Leather Boots 80g Tin (Brown)

Product Information

Should I also be looking at treating the inside leather parts as well? Would lanolin suffice for that? A mixture of 70% wax and 30% oil, this high-quality boot care product not only adds a vital waterproofing layer but contains oil that will penetrate into the leather to help to keep it supple and flexible. After application, brush lightly with a buffing brush to ensure stitching and flex areas are fully coated. Leave for half an hour for the Leder-Gris paste to naturally soak into the leather.

Eventually we started to win other contracts and we increased sales of our outdoor boots to retailers - so I began to build up capacity at the Italy factory. This has enabled me to keep the Richmond factory as a specialist boot-making workshop. I still make most of our motorcycle boots in the Richmond factory, as well as making smaller quantities of our technical boots and being able to offer a specialist boot, making service to people who need it. is traditionally formulated from waxes and synthetic oils for use on all modern water repellent leathers - used on most makes of high quality military/hiking/police boots and shoes. Leder Gris boot wax has been designed for use in average UK conditions. It is suitable for regular application as it won’t overly soften your boots or damage the leather even if used frequently.Does an all in 1 product exist? Something to preserve and waterproof? Or a 2 or 3 stage process advised? eg preserve/soften then waterproof? (1 or more product). The tannery had generations of experience and a really good leather testing Laboratory. It exported its WR100 leather all over the world. I think the recent financial crisis and recession has shown how short sighted we were in England when we closed down key exporting companies such as the Pittards tannery in Leeds. Scarpa recommend the use of their own silicon based HS12 Cream or a water based wax treatment such as Aqueous Nikwax on the Montana calf leather leather used in the Terra GTX.

Nowadays our standard Leder-Gris wax is made for us by Grangers of England. Some years ago I realised that in more extreme conditions a different type of bootcare was necessary to complement our existing Leder-Gris wax. Soldiers who get their boots wet every day during training exercises and gamekeepers required a treatment with a higher oil content, so I developed Leder-Gris Xtreme. Leder-Gris Xtreme is a restorative bootcare product - it is not intended for regular use, but if boots become extremely wet, and if the leather shows signs of hardening - Leder-Gris Xtreme will help replace some of the oils, to restore some suppleness to the leather. Both products are tried and tested in all conditions - traditional bootcare for modern leathers. A brand new formula has been developed by recognised military boots brand Altberg, the Leder Gris wax is designed to be better than standard wax polishes. Delivering a high shine while remaining waterproof in even the wettest weather, Leder Gris wax keeps army boots and other leather goods in excellent condition.

The formulation of Leder-Gris wax oil paste will also give a longer shelf life after the PET screw top container has been opened. Leder-Gris Wax Oil Original Alt-Berg only recommends Leder-Gris® – we DO NOT recommend dubbins, saddle soap, or any kiwi type polishes When ever I like to treat my boots I like to get in all the nooks and crannys (especially the edge between the leather and sole), which I think dubbing is not such a good idea now? Note: Use of Leder-Gris® Xtreme may darken the finish of the leather especially in the toe area or where the boot is scuffed or scratched. This waterproofing wax is easy to use - simply apply the wax oil to leather boots or shoes with a brush to ensure the oils penetrate deep into the leather.
