Dr. Martin tender sided eight hole boot

These were not cared for very well by the previous owner. The leather was very dry when I got them. I applied Bag Balm to soften the leather. Then, I applied four coats of black shoe polish over 7 days. One of the last few steps was a vigorous horse, hair brushing, and Scottish dry wool cloth buff. To finish it off, they got a coat of Dr. Martin Dubin Shine. The recommended minimum once a month product application to keep the leather velvety and maintain a shine.There is one crack at the toe that creates a cut through the leather into the shoe.Price reflects wear and tear. Perfect for everyday use. excellent materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
