About Boot Guard: This unique blend of the highest quality ingredients helps protect leathers from drying, cracking, salt stains, and damage to stitching. Perfect for all seasons and all leathers: Hiking Boots, Work Boots, Athletic Shoes, Casual Shoes, Saddles, Motorcycle Gear, Tool Pouches, Gloves, Hand Bags, Jackets... and all the other leather products that you want to last. Boot Guard Leather Dressing is still made using the proven, original formula developed almost 50 years ago and trusted by generations for restoring and preserving all fine leather goods. Boot Guard is the result of hand-crafted quality, patience, and a unique blend of the highest quality ingredients blended in optimal proportions. It is the proper balance of these ingredients and the strict attention to time and temperature during production that results in a formula so effective, that it readily absorbs into all types of leather, immediately rejuvenating, softening and extending its vitality and life. Boot Guard is completely waterproof and barnyard acid proof yet allows leather to breathe. Boot Guard has never contained any harsh silicones that can damage leather and stitching over a period of time. Simply apply Boot Guard Leather Dressing to the surface of clean, dry leather while paying particular attention to the seams. Allow Boot Guard to soak in for a few minutes and finish with a soft bristle brush. For optimal protection, repeat application. Advisory: As with other leather treatments, it is possible for the product to darken or change the appearance of suede, nubuck, or some unfinished leathers. We recommend using a spot test in an inconspicuous place to ensure that you are pleased with the results.
