Product??

I like brushing and applying good stuff to my boots or shoes in general. I have heard around here not to apply nothing to my Hawthorne’s . I definitely don’t want them to darken. Any product suggestions??

Don't wear dark blue denim as the indigo will darken the heck out of the leather. Also. The leather will darken with wear. Nothing you can really change there. I don't generally use any conditioner on roughout leather unless absolutely needed and then I would use something like Saphir Reno. Do not use anything with a heavy amount of wax. Saphir seems to have a lower wax content.
