Product Information

Keeping your boots or shoes in good condition is essential for their longevity and performance. Using dubbing wax is a great way to maintain the appearance and extend the lifespan of your footwear. Here are some maintenance tips to help you take care of your footwear using dubbing wax. Kindly note that dubbin offers your first line of protection and should be used last when applying shoe care products. Waterer, John William (1981).

If you’re the kind who loves the sight of gleaming boots, dubbin wax adds that irresistible shine, whereas mink oil remains more the humble, unseen hero (though nothing a bit of cloth buffing can’t sort out!). Heat up the Dubbin. Apply a small amount of heat to both your boots and the dubbin to loosen it up and aid thewax’s penetration of your leather boot. A hairdryer works great for this, but take care! You don’t want to apply too much direct heat onto the leather surface.

It makes leather look suppler whilst protecting your boots from stain and dirt accumulation. Because of dubbin’s ability to refresh the look of leather, this should be your go-to product whenever your footwear starts looking a bit out of shape. Who Should Get Dubbin (and Why)?For one, it’s a great product to use when breaking in new boots. Wonder balsam is excellent at softening up leather.

Get out there and enjoy the season! Sure, mink oil does a commendable job of waterproofing your boots. The hitch? It’s like that needy friend who constantly demands your attention– it soaks into your boots’ leather, pleading for frequent reapplications to keep the water at bay.You may want to know how much better dubbin is compared to other waterproofing agents, especially since they’re usually more expensive. At the end of the day, we all want our pair of boots to last for years. Not only because we love them but some boots especially those meant for winter and made with leather are quite expensive. This product acts like the protector, raincoat, or even blanket of your boots. That small little pot it comes in could serve you for a significantly long period. One area that dubbin shines over wonder balsam is the weatherproofing advantage. Though strong, leather is susceptible to water damage. And if you live in an area that experiences a lot of rainfall or winter, your boots can wear out faster. To get the most out of both these two, if you have decided to buy both, use them at different time intervals. I recommend using the dubbin at least once a week to give your boots a stunning shine.

There are three main types of dubbin: Waterproofing Wax (a solid wax), Regular Leather Dressing (a liquid wax), and Leather Conditioner with Oil (a solid wax with oil mixed in). Although they usually don’t have water-resistant properties, these polishes are perfect for normal use or if your boots are only exposed to dry weather.

Elders will also enjoy the benefits of dubbin wax, but they should take extra care when applying and removing the wax. It can be hard to get off if it’s applied in excess amounts, and it can be difficult to remove when there’s too little. Yes, dubbin is made from natural ingredients, so it won’t cause any health problems or damage your footwear if you use it properly.
