Alright, if you were in the Corps at one point and actually cared for your senior boots, I would appreciate some positive feedback on boot shining as well as conditioning.
Well actually, the shining part I have down pretty well, but the conditioning part is new to me. I already slathered on melatonian (colored boot cream, red mahogany 12)and got it to the color I desire. I have been using Lincoln brown polish. I haven't applied any of the melatonian conditioning oil (mink oil for some) and would like to know where and how much I should apply. Should I have done that first, or is it the last thing I do? I've heard of cadets applying it to the leather sole of the boot too. Recommended?
