Hi, I have ordered my oro-ginal chukka 3140. May I know should I oil it first before wearing it? And how to make the leather colour get darker?

Thanks

wear them straight out of the box. color will change naturally after being exposed to natural elements.

@cajun22: mind disclosing the price you paid for the 875 and your wife's boots after discount?

how come RW sole so fast worn out 1?
i used it for like 8 mths... going to botak liao...

now i don care abt mink oil liao.... hope the colour will come back... haha
then replace the sole dat time, hope they can do something abt the dampness of the leather too.... is it possible to make the leather dry? i have sun tan the leather for 3 days... still the same black colour...

now i just keep wearing n never take care of the boots.... rain or shine also wear.... i think give it another 2 mths or before CNY, i will need to change my sole liao
