The Boot Guard product effectively conditions and waterproofs leather, reviving and protecting older items. It has a non-greasy formula that soaks into the leather quickly, keeping it supple and water-resistant even in harsh weather. While some customers noted a slight darkening of lighter-colored leathers, the product is generally considered an excellent leather care solution that extends the life and performance of quality leather footwear and accessories.
I purchased this when I saw that you could use it on purses. My Dooney purses leather trim will leave a watermark if they get wet, regardless of what they tell you, so I purchased
