I didn't want to thread jack the post from earlier about leather care, so I thought I'd start my own.
I got a pair of Red Wing boots from Jcrew about a year ago. They were a lighter leather, similar to this, but maybe even a little lighter.
Anyway, I didn't treat them or anything and they held up pretty well.
It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that I decided I wanted to clean them and try to take better care of them. I used Lexol (cleaner followed by conditioner) and now the boots are much darker. They don't look bad or anything...but I wish I knew how I could have taken better care of them, so they could have retained their original color. Do you guys have any suggestions? Do you think there is any way I can lighten them back up?
