i just applied mink oil to my 8165 last night. This is the 2nd time i am applying after ard 3-4mths of wear.

After application, i aired for ard 9hrs, but i noticed it was not sufficient to let it dry totally totally. But hack, i still wore it for work today:p

I noticed that some scars were slightly "covered", the leather got darker and less glossy.
Not sure if its me mentally, but i noticed its softer too coz i can see more creases when i am bending my toes today.

thanks man! i was quite bothered by the dent and i'll try it out after i get the mink oil at redwing store. i heard the oil smells nice lol

you can wear them at least twice everyweek what. i suggest dont go for alternatives if you really want it. just get the one you really want.

i noticed after the mink oil application 2days ago, my 8165 feels much softer. The toe area accumulating creases fast, faster than before application.
