Are Blundstone boots worth the hype? I think so! How do they clean up? Pretty nice I think! Today we are restoring a pair of leather Blundstone boots that I got using OTTERWAX! Gotta love Otterwax (thanks Chris). Anyways typically people do these videos in an ASMR style but I'm too self conscious to do that so I just did it regular style.

I have a pair of 550's or technically 585's. When compared to the 500's there are some big differences that made me go with these instead (steel shank, leather lining, better shock absorption. All in all I love Blundstones! Not as repairable as good year welted boots like Red Wings, or Wolverines but still some of my favorites. Even if it's just because it doesn't take very long to put them on.

First, I cleaned the boots off with saddle soap to get the dirt, salt, excess wax off of them. Then I conditioned the boots with a leather salve AND leather oil to restore the cracked dry leather and then FINALLY I waxed the boots to make them more waterproof/water resistant/weather proofed.

THANKS!!!
