Question 1

How should I go about cleaning the soles?

Accepted Answer

you can get some leather cleaning products. I personally just use saddle soap as it cleanses leather but there are also leather wipes that are sold any place auto parts are sold (used for leather seats in vehicles). I would also HIGHLY recommend using a generous amount of mink oil or similar products and be sure to not be stingy with it anywhere seams meet!! Mink oil will water proof you leather. I am full blood native american 2nd génération reservation born indian and i apply mink oil on all leather craft items I make whether for personal use for items I make for customers. One other trick if you have to break in leather boots like cowboy boots. Before you use mink oil, scrub them really good with saddle soap, be sure to also get the boots really wet (inside and out). Also do this on a day you have off, because after softening the boots with saddle soap then getting the leather wet, you will want to place them on your feet and walk around them all day until they are either completely dry or 10-12 (or more). The reason for this is because the leather will start to shrink and forming to your foot. Thus allowing you to break in your new boots much quicker and with less pain for your feet. Once you have the boots formed for a comfortable fit, THEN apply a couple of layers of mink oil (ensure you rub the mink oil into all areas where there is any stitching as to ensure water proofing your boots completely. once you have applied one layer of mink oil and have it coating each boot throughly then take a boot brush and brush the boots to a nice shine. Repeat the process again for a nice second layer as this will ensure that your boots will a nice coating of mink oil worked into your boots. Use the boot brush once again and buff to a nice shine. I have also preferred using neutral shoe polish (you can always add color for areas with scuffs. I also prefer lighting the shoe polish on fire and allow the top layer to melt then a tiny dab onto a soft rag and slowly work that polish into the boot. You should have a slightly dull and hazy area in the areas you applied the polish. once completed adding the polish I then buff the polish off then use the horse hair boot brush for that extra shine. Of course for all those either serving in the military or veterans, all of you also know the importance of a lady’s stocking for that high gloss inspection shine!

Question 2

What is the cushion insole made of? Can it be removed?

Accepted Answer

It is not removable so I have no idea what it is made of. They are not heavy-duty and even though I only wear them in the house, I would not buy them again.

Question 3

I wear size 10 1/2 dress shoe, what size should I order in the double deer skin mocs?

Accepted Answer

Hi. I wear a 11 and 1/2 but ordered a 11 and they fit fine. If you order too big the laces will not be tight enough to fit right

Question 4

Can someone tell me the specific reason for the Proposition 65 warning?  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

LOL. Every establishment in California posts a Prop 65 warning, yet we frequent them every day. In this case, I imagine it was because of the way leather is tanned.
