I bought Scotch guard but the lady at the store told me NOT to use that on the Shearling boots. She sent me to Drysdales (lots of western wear, including every type of boots), and they suggested "Justin Boots, original workboots."
All it says on the can is "water and stain protector." Nothing about the type of leather etc.
What to do? I'm kind of nervous to use this stuff, yet they cautioned me about using SG.
These are the boots. Mine is black and daughter's boots are brown.
