What brick and mortar stores carry Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP?

I recently bought some Red Wing GT's and I am looking to get a few products to keep them in good condition. I have had many people recommend Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP, but I am unable to find any retail stores which carry it.

Are there no brick and mortar stores which carry this product. If so, any chains or stores in the Bay Area, specifically the East Bay?

Thanks.

I just bought two pairs of Red Wing Chukka's (3140 and 3141) and was about to order some Red Wing Leather Protector. Is Obenauf's going to be better or even appropriate for me?

I use Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP (ordered from Cabela's) on an old pair of Red Wings and it works great. However, it darkens the color significantly. So if you want to keep the iconic "Red Wing" color, the Red Wing brand protector might be a better bet. I couldn't find any local shops that carried Obenauf's.

buy it from SCHNEE'S BOOTS & SHOES

i just bought the big tub (probably a bad idea, since i'll likely end up losing it before i even scrape past using 5% of the product...) for 10 dollars... maybe 12 after shipping cost. just remember to call in your order and ask if they could adjust the shipping cost for the item.
