Waxed CommanderUpdated 4 months ago

This leather is from Charles F. Stead Tannery. The tannage is called Waxy or Waxed Commander. The best way to care for these styles is by adding a pair of shoe trees and using a brush with firm bristles to help keep dust particles off and even out the scuffs. Since the leather surface has a matte finish, it holds this look even after heavy wear. As a result, scuffs and dings tend to look more natural. The tannery recommends applying a WP beeswax/dubbin to restore it if it seems dry over time. From our own experience, we've used Neutral Venetian and seen great results. We suggest starting with a small amount on the tongue or the heel and working up from there. It can be easily hidden if you do not like the look.
