Bought myself some nice boots but I’m hearing/reading conflicting things about caring for them.
The guy in the shop said to put leder gris on after I’ve worn them a few times and got them wet. He also said it would make them less breathable.
Should I wait to treat them? It goes against everything I have ever been told about getting plenty of dubbin rubbed in on day one.
Is there anything else I can use to protect them that won’t stop them breathing?
