I went to clean out my tack from my trailer to find out my leather tack was covers it mold. After using this the mold is gone and my tack looks amazing now so happy with this stuff

Made my leather bags look new again

Works great on king ranch leather

GREAT PRODUCT !!

Works as it is suppose to. Reminds me of when, as a kid, I used Saddle Soap on baseball gloves. Now I use it on boots, hiking shoes and leather belts. Good product. Easy open can as well.

Works great for cleaning leather goods. However it is an abrasive product that shouldnt be used too often.

Easy to use. This saddle soap cleaned my boots well, lathers good and made my leather shoes look like new. It has a weird smell though but it disappears after a while.

Good would buy again

It cleans up my leather boots very well. Very happy with it.

The reviews for this product are very misleading. Most of the Amazon reviews give you the impression that this is the safest stuff in the world and wont harm your leather. This was not the case for me. I started out using this saddle soap on my black Justin Ropers. I followed the instructions on the package by rubbing a damp cloth onto the soap and getting a lather, followed by a direct application to the boot after which it was buffed off. First of all, these are poor instructions and are very vague. A damp cloth will definitely not reach all the recesses, contours and crannies of a pair of boots. In hindsight, it would be better to create a lather of saddle soap and water in a separate container and use an old toothbrush to work it in. A YouTube user has a video with pretty good results using this technique. The way I did it (per the instructions on the can) was way too heavy handed and ineffective. With all that being said, the black Justin boots did come out decently supple and shiny afterwards. Being my less expensive pair of boots, I experimented with them first before moving on to my $300 Frye Arkansas boots in redwood brown. I immediately came to regret this course of action. Within the first 10 seconds of coating the surface of the brown boots, a very sharp and acrid smell filled the air. The best way I could describe it was that it smelled acidic. Shortly thereafter my boots began to take on a very dark color. I would say 3-4 shades darker than they came from the factory. The finish also became very dull and lost its luster no matter how much I tried frantically to buff it off before it could get any worse. The end result was a boot of a completely different color, they literally looked like a completely different pair of boots. And they were less than 6 months old during this time. I checked over dozens of reviews of this product endlessly just to make sure something like this wouldnt happen to my favorite boots, but most people didnt seem to have any problems at all. My advice is to be very cautious when using this product before you go all out. The reason for the 3 stars is because they did do a good job on my black boots, but my other vastly more expensive pair were nearly ruined. Thank god for simple kiwi lather conditioning oil, it at least brought back some of the luster but the color seems permanently altered beyond repair. It would take a drastic measure to restore them to their previous state.
