You can refresh it with some of the oil, but LP is the stuff you want.

Wholesale Sports and almost all Logging supply stores stock the LP in case you don't want to order online.

Nikwax. Only stuff I use on mine.

I put Nikwax on mine, it made them look like they have crap growing on them. Never again. Maybe there's something wrong with my Nikwax but I won't put it on my boots again. I've only ever used mink oil and have had no issues. It makes the infamous Meindl squeak go away for me too.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
