Awesome product. Been using it on my Lowas for years. I warm it up and apply with one of those sponge trim paint brushes. Made here in the Couve. https://bee-natural-leathercare.webflow.io/shop#!/Rain-&-Snow/c/41383437

DON’T speed-dry near a heat source or direct sunlight
DON’T expose to farmyard waste, acids or petroleum-based products
DON’T store in damp, closed areas
DON'T use regular shoe polish on nubuck or split-leather

:yeah: Always check mfg recommendations on high end boots. How they cure their leather, what type of adhesive they use on the Rands etc. can all make a difference

Interesting. The bees wax has been working great for me on the Lowas. I even got them refurbished a few years ago in Germany with no problems.

Thanks Guys,
This has been really interesting to read over. I like hearing about the homemade recipes. I've still got a gallon of bear grease for cooking, maybe it'll do boots too? Since these Lowas are my first expensive pair of hunting boots, (I've always been an on-sale Rocky or rubber boot kind of guy) I'll probably just order up Lowas own boot care stuff so as not to void the warranty. For my other boots, a local beeswax boot care seems like a cool way to support a local business. Thanks Pianoman!
