RE: what is the best way to condition a pair of leather GORTEX boots?
For smooth leather, Murphy' s Oil Soap does fine and at a fraction of the price of most saddle soaps. You can get it in the grocery store. All I ever use on my boots an' saddles. The snow seal is ok, but it don' t condition or preserve. Mix some Neat' s Foot Oil with the wax and rub in when the leather is warm. You can warm the dressing as well. If you don' t wanna mix yer own, Skidmores Leather Cream is a good wax and oil mixture, but pricey.
