Lexol itself is a brand. Saddle soap any brand also can. Not sure when I going to order. May purchase a few things from Rakuten at once to make it worthwhile

Personally I feel LP overkill, But then again it is good for our humid weather and warm weather. then Mink Oil don't use for our weather - you can use for leather products but not leather shoes. I will be getting the Obenauf Leather Oil instead to try. IMO you should try that. Then get a horse shoe brush + a leather cleaner and start buffing/scrubbing your denim stains. It will go off.

Why mink oil shouldn't be use on leather boots? Humid weather isnt damaging to leather itself but easy for mildew to buildup on your leather product so I don't see why lp is required because of our weather when keeping your boots dry and store it at "airflow" places would be sufficient

Because mink oil contains silicone (it states on the ingrdients) that blocks the leather from breathing. In our weather where you sweat a lot, you are gonna make ur boots unable to breathe with all the sweat moisture inside. It's meant for snow and slush where your boots are gonna get wet so the silicone layer protects it. Obenauf LP does not have silicone, so your leather still breathes and has protection. But like I said, LP is overkill and you will get the same protection if you use the leather oil which probably is better. Your boots won't dry overnight unless you put in shoe trees. I keep my shoes in the cupboard.
