I can't understand why anybody would use saddle soap. Mixing water and leathering up a shoe sounds like bad news bears for leather, imo.

So then, do you use saddle soap and then a "conditioner," or just saddle soap and then the polish?
I mention reno because the poster had a question which related to it's use.
It's milder than saddle soap & easier to apply.
Fritzl, don't you use dubbin, or a similar product as well?
i got that. i'm interested in your expertise, which you shared with us.
Well to elaborate, If I wish to condition shoes I use Nivea face cream - the standard, original formula and to lightly clean shoes I use a baby wipe.
Anyone who thinks they use fancy products during manufacture is misguided.
Half of the people's heads in this forum just exploded.
Thanks for the reply, that's what I've concluded with as well. It works wonders on the soles as well, making them nearly indestructible. But why is no one else using it? Is it because if the hassle with applying, waiting it to penetrate deep into the leather and needing a bit more elbow grease to get a nice shine?
