Answer 4

well here in australia there is alot of leather and the country people use emu oil and rub it on their leather goods. It makes it shine and provides a protective coating while softening due to the qualities that it contains. I see they sell it all the time in the Royal Melbourne Show every september.

Answer 5

Wearing them is owten the best way. This sounds silly but I use it when I get new work boots. Put a plastic shopping bag over your sock before you put your boot on. It alows your foot to slip around a little and should reduce the chances of getting blisters.

Answer 6

Wearing them alot...saddle soap...some people like to get the boots wet, and then let them dry while they are wearing them.
Why not call where you bought the boots, or talk to a boot-maker, and ask thier advice? Depending on the type of material...there may be different answers.
