I tried this on my everyday boots, not my workboots. Normally I used Kiwi wax. This stuff made kind of a mess, and it tends to flake off a little bit even after drying. But it does look beautiful, and it is very heavily dyed. So the section of the boots that were a darker brown or dark green are all this color now. And it's a nice shade of brown. But I think I need to polish them again with Kiwi to keep them from staining my clothes. Not that they have yet. But the flaking off worries me. On my workboots, though, I am sure this stuff will be great.
