just got my first pair of red wing 1907 .. so i was wondering how do i maintain the leather ?
as such , i send an email to red wing USA and it was their reply
The recommended care products for style 1907 are leather cleaner and mink oil. The leather cleaner helps to lift dirt and particles from leather surfaces without drying or damaging the leather. It is a water based formula that is environmentally safe and gentle to the natural fibers of the leather. Mink oil is known for its softening and conditioning qualities.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
