Work Boots
Hey, I have a question! I just bought some new Carhartt waterproof insulated steel toe work boots and I was told to use mink oil regularly on them. However, I have also heard not to use it. What do I do?

I called and they said to use the mink oil to condition the leather so it doesn’t crack. However they were not sure if the oil was bad for the leather overall or the whole composure of the boot either.

thanks!
Ok, thanks for the help. On another note, I have been looking for a hunting rifle and I have heard that Savage rifles are some of the most accurate. They are also cheaper then other companies. I figured ide ask this question cuse most people who are into ford trucks and work boots might know somthing about hunting and/or shooting!

Savage rifles aren't bad. My WesCo boots all have mink oil on them to keep them more waterproof.

i have a pair of carhartt boots and the lether is different then that of other boots ive seen. its very soft and its seems to have a film or resedu covering it... this is before if used the oil. i know that the boots are waterproof cuse the company swears by it but it seems like other companies boots look waterproff aswell.

Unfortunately, for me, during college I used to have a job at a mall shoe store, no not Payless, selling quality boots, shoes, etc. MY recommendation is to use any kind of leather conditioner/oil as long as alcohol is not listed as being used in the product. Alcohol works against the conditioner/oil and will dry out leather. As for the rifle, Savage or any other "name" rifle will usually shoot more accurately then the person shooting the rifle is capable of.
