Leather Conditioners
Danner Boot Wax and Clear Boot Dressing are similar products that work well on all colors of full-grain leather.
Both products are formulated to keep full-grain leather from drying and cracking and should be used to recondition boots after hard use. The oils also lubricate the stitching on your boots to reduce wear caused by friction at flex points.
Wax and dressing can also be used to help soften leather when breaking in new boots.
Dressing and wax will darken the leather color when applied. We recommend applying a small amount of conditioner to the tongue of the boot, under the laces, to test the effect in a discrete spot.

Danner Brown and Black Danner Boot Dressings work the same as Clear Boot Dressing. They are formulated to keep smooth, full-grain leather from drying and cracking and should be used to recondition boots after hard use.
There is a small amount of dye added, which is especially helpful for scuffs and scratches where the lighter underside of the leather is visible. The dye in the dressing will help even and restore the color of the brown or black leather.
They are petroleum-based and do not contain any harmful solvents or propellants.
Best for: Reviving worn or dry leather footwear, evening out scuffs or scratches
Use on: Full-grain leather, brown or black

Suede & Nubuck Waterproofing Conditioner spray is the only option for suede or nubuck leathers. Boot wax or dressing should not be used on these types of leathers; they will compromise the performance and aesthetic of suede or nubuck.
