Dubarrys - what do you treat yours with?

[Puppy]

Mine have had a LOT of wear

and often look rather tired

I tend to treat them with dubbin, which revives them to look great

but needs doing very often and the toes especially tend to look very faded and worn. Is there anything else that you would recommend, or not? Thanks

You can get a leather cream from Dubarry, which brings them up quite well.

the Dubarry leather cream at £10 a tube is actually oakwood cream, which retails at £5 or the same size tube.... it even says on the back 'made by oakwood' (or words to that effect)

Where is the best place to get oakwood cream from?

Ditto that

I have the Dubarry waterproof spray, but think I need something that "feeds" it more.

 

[Solstar]

we sell it in our shop, but is telling you that classed as advertising?

its the oakwood leather conditioner you're after, it comes in a tube at £5 or a bigger pot for £10.

What sizes are those at those prices?

By all means, please, post a link of the stockist you know of!

ETA- you will have to type 'oakwood' in the search bar.

its actually £5.99 for the tube! I dont know the sizes im afraid, off work poorly this week.

i do know a tub lasts aggggges- i do my dubs and my tack with it every week or so and iv had a tub on the go for about a year!!
we are currently updating the website, its a bit crap at the mo!!!

They do, don't they?!

I bought mine in a darker shade, and really like them like that, however, I feel they need more "feeding" and waterproofing then ordinary boot polish

Super, thank you for your help

I have the Dubarry cream for my Clares and it brings them up well. But i was wondering about maintaining the waterproofing. What is the best thing to use, i heard Dubarry do a spray, but is there anything else people have used that works?? Where can i get the Dubarry spray from? Thanks

 

[LizzieJ]

I do mine with nikwax leather conditioner/proofer

 

[Pixxie]

ditto LizzieJ it brings them up beautifully its much cheaper the tubs are huge and last ages...brilliant stuff

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I've used this on mine too and it works a treat

 

[Sessie]

Thanks, i shall invest in some of that once my leather cream tube runs out
