Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a huge fan of taking care of my boots. I just bought this to compare to the Obenauf's, and Redwings' NaturSeal (which I've learned is just Aquaseal relabeled) that I already own. Obenaufs has a natural honey smell to it, the Naturseal has a like a sweet leather smell to it, and the Huberd's shoe grease is like a smoked bacon and pine smell mixed. To be honest I like the smell of the Huberds the best. When you spread the Huberds on the boot it definitely gets more of a liquid consistency than the NaturSeal and Obenaufs and seems to rub in quicker when you use your fingers. Its winter here now and the snow just beads on the boot when it melts and doesn't absorb into the leather. Ive had the shoe grease on my boots now for a week now (11/26/14) and my boots are still beading water off of them. If your in the market for a leather boot care/shoe care product this is definitely at least worth a try. Like I said I'm going to keep using this because it is just as good as all the other leather care products in its class and the tipping point for me was I love the way it smells. UPDATE: 12/17/2014 I've put 2 coats on my boots since the original review and I am very impressed with Huberd's Shoe Grease. It does not leave a sticky feeling like Obenaufs or the rest, has been keeping my boots protected, and i forgot to mention that the Huberd's doesn't seem to darken the leather all that much like the rest. Ive been doing allot of research and for the most part I have learned that mink oil, regardless if its 100% or a mix in another product, is overall bad for leather over time and WILL rot your stitching out eventually. Mink oil is derived from a mink's fat, hence its an animal fat. The primary reason they put mink oil in other leather care products is because of money. Mink oil really does do what all of the other companies says it does which is soften and condition leather, but the adverse effect of it is, because it is an animal fat, it will rot, and what better way to keep you coming back for new boots, you'll feel good the product is working but with misinformation your actually not helping your leather. Huberd's Shoe Grease does NOT have mink oil in it, and like Obenaufs, from what I have learned by researching, DOES have Bee Propolis in it. If a product has BeesWax in it then it does have Bee Propolis also. Bee Propolis is an anti-bacterial resin collected by honeybees to waterproof and disinfect their hives. Beeswax in general is a universal natural and safe leather protector.
