Hello everyone,
I was recently gifted a pair of Red Wing IR 8085s (Rough & Tough), and was wondering if using Allen Edmonds conditioner, cream, wax polish, etc. is okay for them (assuming all products are the same/similar color), or if I should purchase the boot oil from Red Wing.
The store this was bought from oils them for free every month, but I like taking care of my shoes myself. This is my first oil-tanned leather product, so I'd like to make sure I'm using the right stuff.
Looking for advice if AE products are fine, or if I should just pick up the boot oil from RW.
Thanks!
