Looking after Andrews XP boots?

[Treetom15]

I’ve got a pair of the cervino XP boots, great for climbing and comfortable but the material seems to be wearing pretty fast on the sides? Any recommendations for wax or spray etc to prolong the life of them, they’re only about 5 months old and I’d rather get some more life out of them as they’re really nice boots!

Think Oregon do a boot care kit, I had one free from FRJones a few years ago. Not had heavy use to be fair so can't comment on effectiveness.

I use " Leder Gris " which is a rich kinda dubbin . You will loose the knapp but it will keep em supple and water proof .

I buy boots, don’t know their name maybe Glorious Wings (niche His Dark Materials reference)

 I never do anything to them except replace the laces periodically.

If they make a year, I’m happy.

I’ve got a pot of dubbin so will give that a try, always used it on leather boots but wasn’t sure with this “fake leather” but can’t hurt!
