Hello everyone. I am looking for some help and advice. Last year I purchased the Rockport boots (https://www.rockport.com/rockport/r...wear-waterproof-all-waterproof-styles#start=1) that have the waxed/oiled leather. While not knowing I used some "regular" Kiwi shoe polish and polished them. Now I know a little more and i am looking to restore them to their original "waxed/oiled leather" look. I guess the first step would be to clean them and remove the polish that I put on in error. I have spent the last of couple of days research but I am not sure what to use our even what to do after. Please help me figure this out and thanks in advance.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
