Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted May 7, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted May 7, 2008 Ok, lets say I made a pair of shoes out of veg tan (including the outer sole), and used Fiebings antique on it. What would you suggest I use as a final finish before the shoes are worn?

IF, you did make a pair of shoes from veg tan leather, do you not think that they would be kinda stiff? would you not want them to be flexiable? Quote Luke
Members skip Posted May 7, 2008 Members Report Posted May 7, 2008 How about a few pictures so we can see your fine work and see what the shoes look like. I agree with the neat lac, however I believe a nice leather dressing with some beeswax would probably help soften the leather a little, I use Skidmores saddle dressing, Aussie dressing works well also. good luck.
