Hi guys, recently got a pair of iron rangers in copper. May I know what do you guys use to condition your shoes? The guy in the red wing store recommended natureseal as it will not change the color. However need to wait for quite awhile. Is it okay if i use the red wing mink oil or conditioner? BTW, whats the difference between the 2?

If you want your iron ranger to remain the same shade, do not use mink oil. Get a Saphir Renovateur, it cleans and nourishes the uppers. Dry brush the uppers before application.

What you're looking to do seems to be beyond resoling. More towards recrafting.

Doubt that Shukey will be able to properly recraft a pair of GYW boots.

Agree with the other bro. U need to recraft, not just simply removing the sole and stick another piece.

Locally only EEA can do that, but it will cost u $180.

Mink oil will change color
Conditioner not tried but may not

Saphir product recommended above is good just costly.

Tarrago jell cream does not.
