If I use this on my black timberland boots, will there be any color distortion or change?

It might look darker when it's wet, but as it dries and being black you should see no color change in my experience. If you're worried about it just try it on a small patch on the back of the boot, but you should be fine. Good Luck

I would think it would work great. I have used it on suede and smooth leather shoes and boots with no issues. It does not leave any indication they have been treated.

Quite possibly, most of these shoe stretch products say not to but I used it on a pair of sneakers with suede and it stretched the leather just fine. The suede was black and I didn't see any discoloration. I'd recommend you try it in a hard to see spot first though, just in case.

Yes you should be able to do that. I used it on a pair of brown boots and it made them a darker color after applying it.

Yes but it may darken the leather on new boots. Try a spot on the tongue you can't see and let it dry. Can't use on suede or fur. Has to be smooth leather. Great product for leather.

It will. It leaves behind a bit of residue, I suppose you will really be able to see it on the black. I sometimes clean, rinse and wipe with a micro fiber cloth to polish and take off any residue.

I have used it on all of my fabric shoes. Suede, cloth, brushed leather etc. I have done really light coats and very heavy coats. It does darken them while they are wet, but as they dry they seem to be revert back to very close to their original color.

it will darken your boots a little, it probably takes the place of the oil since you need to heat the boots up so that it will absorb the wax, it did soften the leather and if you work in mud like I do, the mud does absorb the wax and it will need to be reapplied every month or two

I can't see why not, is the area on the boot just discolored or actually torn? If discolored I think you will be ok, but if it's a tear, I don't know if I would do it.

Hi, I didn't apply leather finish after dying my shoes. I watched a YouTube video and a lady dyed some rather worn shoes with a gorgeous orangish/rust dye. They turned out fabulously, and she dyed SUEDE shoes! That is what I did, only black and newish shoes. She said hers were suede, and it worked great. The package says not to dye suede, but I did anyway. I am not sorry! The color is fabulous and I just brushed them with a soft brush after they were dry. I am not doing anything else to them - mostly because they look good and they are suede. I would suggest reading the package. I don't remember afterwards applications. Sorry!

I'd probably say it will soften and darken the leather. As for ruining the boots, it depends on the type of boots, age, and condition of the leather uppers. If the boots have leather uppers that are worn, scruff, feeling powdery to the touch, then probably not. On the contrary, it might revive the boots and give the leather uppers another year or so--such was the case with my keen hiking boots. If the boots are new and have much of the leather uppers intact, I would say let it be. But I would value the opinions from folks with more hiking experience and those who own more technical hiking boots. hope this info helps.

It works great on nubuck as far as functionality, but be advised that your boots will essentially look and feel like smooth leather after using. It also significantly darkened the color on mine (from light brown to dark brown). I actually liked my boots better after using this, but my boots are are for hiking in wet/muddy weather, and this was great protection for that purpose. If you want to maintain the nubuck texture and color, this might not be the right product.

I put it on black leather gloves and it did not change the color, I know that's unlikely anyway...but i'd also add it only worked after several applications on those gloves and wore off within an hour or so after hardly even using my finger.

I just bought some for my new Distressed Ariat boots. Right on the side of the package it says "DO NOT USE ON DISTRESSED LEATHER". Thanks for the heads up, that was sarcasm if you didnt recognize it. Thanks for the not so true description. Thanks for nothing.

I had never heard of UGG boots before but looked them up on the net. If I'm correct they are natural leather,some are suede, but natural leather. If this is the case , and this is from the can "CLEANS THOROUGHLY WHILE RESTORING THE NATURAL PRESERVATIVE LEATHER OILS'. I've used it for many years on just regular leather, mostly muddy boots, with good success. The directions are on the can, of course, but you just use a soft brush and plain water and scrub. Then let dry. I see no reason why it wouldn't do the job for your use. Hope this helps!

It says on the can that it is okay for leather and swede but I used it on a fake suede and it worked beautifully. No change in color or texture.

They didn't discolor my suede shoes, and they are tan in color. I would recommend this product. It works very well. In fact I will order this item again. I even tested it in the rain, and the water beaded off, like water on a duck. Very high quality product. I rate it 5 stars. No it will no discolor your boots! Coming from a customer that used this product, you will be very pleased. Let it dry over night before you test it out in any rain or snow, so the product can be absorbed in the sheepskin. And spray it outside , in a covered area. You will enjoy this product. Sincerely, a satisfied customer ! They didn't discolor my suede shoes, and they are tan in color.
