Clinch Boots Overdyed Horsebutt: Conditioning Tips??

Hello!

I am the happy recent owner of a pair of second-hand Clinch Engineer boots in Black Overdyes Horsebutt.

I had just wanted to ask the community if anyone has conditioning tips for this particular leather.

I know that the Horsebutt which Clinch has been described as similar to Shell Cordovan. I have a pair of Shell Cordovan boots and am familiar with how they’re maintained, but I’m not sure if their Horsebutt requires different maintenance.

Looking for tips
Thanks!

Nice pick up!

It's like every leather. Apply conditioner to a small area that's normally hidden and see how it looks. I use Venetian on all my horse leathers including shell. I've used Saphir too but don't like how it shines the leather.

I second Bick 4. The horsebutt should be good for a while. When you see it starting to look a bit dry, bick four will condition well without darkening or changing the color, but you should have a while before you need to worry about that, judging from your pics. Your boots look like they are in great shape and nearly new.
