Should I use Glovolium on my boots?

I have some new Docs, which are very stiff, and I have some Glovolium Glove Butter. Am I going to regret using Glovolium on my boots? The outside? The inside?

I don't think you'd regret using it on the outside unless your boots are light colored, but I would not use it on the inside unless you like greasy feet and socks.

Put it on and aim a warm hairdryer at your boots to help it sink in.

If you aren't committed to the Docs you bought, and you have black 8-eye, recommend getting Nappa or Virginia Leather Docs. They are super soft and have no break-in time.

Response by poster: Already committed, unfortunately: they were a gift.
