Leather conditioner

[mike36]

I have a pair of La Sportiva Nepal EVO's.They have seen alot of use this summer! What types/brands of leather conditioner is recomended?

Are they gore-tex lined?

 

I recommend sno-seal, the stuff is great -- conditions and waterproofs.

 

But, if you have a goretex boot, I don't know how sno-seal effects the breathability of the leater. If your leather doesn't breath, then i suppose there's no point in having a gore-tex membrane underneath? That's why I avoid gore-tex boots, but that's another story.

 

I think Nikwax has a gore-tex safe leather conditioner

I would use a Nikwax. SnoSeal is alright, but it's messy and it does effect the breathability of the leather.

I like Biwell better than Sno-seal for non GTX. The Evo's are GTX so I'd definitly go with the Nikwax.
