Product Information

In more arduous conditions we recommend occasional use of Leder-Gris Xtreme, this will soften the leather, and used correctly, it will extend the time before the leather begins to crack.

It has a good penetration and the color remains mostly original and the surface does not become slippery. Apply with brush and leave for 5 minutes, then brush vigorously, leave for 10 minutes, then buff with a soft dry polishing cloth. However, correct and constant use of Leder-Gris will extend the time before which flex cracking will occur. A brand new formula has been developed by recognised military boots brand Altberg, the Leder Gris wax is designed to be better than standard wax polishes. The oil goes deeper into the leather, and helps to maintain the leather’s suppleness by replacing leather oils lost during the drying out process.Working on two levels, the waxes remain on the surface to increase the natural water resistance of the boot and the oil penetrates beneath the surface to help keep the leather supple. The 50% wax and 50% oil in Leder Gris Xtreme help to soften the leather on application and provide waterproofing as it dries which over time will increase the time before leather will crack.

Leder Gris wax also helps to prevent general wear and tear like cracking leather, so your footwear is more likely to last.

All leather will eventually show signs of cracking where the boot leather flexes, however, drying boots too quickly may shrink the boots and will also harden the leather and accelerate flex cracking – regular treatment of Leder-Gris will extend the time before cracking occurs.
