I have an old pair of grensons that my grandpa used to wear. They have had some oil damage to the upper, a stain that has darkened the leather. They have no major value beyond sentimental, and are pretty beaten up.
I was looking at how to deal with the stain, the advice that is easily googleable is basically dont get oil on your shoes, followed by put talcum powder on them. The staiin has been there for too long for this to be an option. Will I need to strip the leather back with something like neatsfoot oil? then re-dye and apply a polish?
