There is a thing you can use and it is better than dubbin. it is called neatsfoot oil, and it conditions leather from the inside and not the outside like dubbin and the rest, you will get better penetration of the hide from the inside as well so be careful of over-treating, I usually throw the whole jar in a sink full of hot water to make it real runny, I then pour the entire contents into one boot, slosh it around real quick and the pour out of that boot into the second one, slosh around quick and then pour out and back into the original jar, you will start with 500 mls and end up with about 100 mls at the end. You will have smelly socks and feet for a while but the boots will stay hard on the outside and be softer around your feet on the inside, you also only have to do this once for the life of the boot.
Enjoy!!

TB the three kisses did it for me mate, to tell you the truth I went out to put a set of new bars on the youngest bike and came back a little bit later and shit had hit the fan , I love it, but its all good,what model katie did you ride and race

[GregMember]

Shit stretching it here, 1984, or 1986 KTM 250 cross country, white in colour, left hand kick start, got some photos somewhere of me racing it.
It blew up twice, clutch always dragged, but I had to have it when I bought because Phil lovett was wining everything on them ha ha ha

I enjoyed riding Motos, but please dont tell anybody or when I stir the pot they wont bite

Met an Old fella once when I was a kid( 100yr ago ), he was a drover in his day, he used to rub the grease( fat) from the pork roasts into ALL his saddles, bridles etc. Being an animal fat, the leather will soak it up quickly and make it supple as well as waterproof too. ( can get a tad smelly, works if cash is hard to get). With the Dubbin/pork fat, leave the boots in the sun to warm up abit, then apply, it’ll get in a bit deeper.

In the UK we have things called airing cupboards that house the hot water boiler system for the house heating (radiators). They make a great place to stick your boots in when you’v put the dunnin on, they supple right up
