DIY Boot Wax & Leather Conditioner

Step 1

The coconut oil and beeswax should be weighed so that there are 4 ounces (or more if desired) of each. This creates a 50/50 mix by weight. Weigh out the beeswax.

Step 2

Weigh out an equal amount of coconut oil.

Step 3

I melted them together in my Instant Pot, using the "Keep Warm" feature. If you prefer, you can melt in a glass bowl sitting on top of a pot of boiling water (double boiler)

Step 4

Once melted, pour into silicon molds or a metal tin. Let the mixture harden. You can speed this up by placing it into the freezer or fridge.

Step 5

To use, warm the wax disc or a little bit of wax in your hand. Spread generously over your boots.

Step 6

Use a horsehair brush to scrub and work the wax into leather. Continue brushing the boots until the wax is worked into the leather. No need to wait. Wear them right away!
