Review on Nikwax 861 Conditioner For Leather by Chris Kidd

The maker of my vegetable tanned leather boots recommends Nikwax. They didn't answer the question of whether they darken the skin. The answer is yes, but they will lighten up a bit after drying completely and the skin will actually look richer after use. It was very easy to use. I wet the boots and then applied them. I've tried not to apply too much so I don't have to wash off any excess later. In the picture, one shoe has been edited while the other has not yet been edited.
