Vaseline and paper towels. It will darken the leather a bit but will prevent anymore salt from penetrating your leather again too. Use this on all new leather shoes and boots before you go out in the Midwest winters.

Reply:You must remove the salt first. Use a damp cloth and wipe the shoes repeatedly while rinsing the cloth frequently. This way you can remove the salt without soaking the shoes.





Allow the shoes to dry at room temperature for a day. Do not use heat.





Polish the shoes with a good paste polish - not liquid. After the shoes have been buffed to a good gloss, put on a final coat of top-quality water sealant and buff that to a shine. Pay special attention to the area around the soles!





For maintenance, keep a cloth near the door of your home or in the mud room, whatever, and wipe down your shoes as soon as you get home. You should do this at work also. Baby wipes work too but a damp cloth is better. Only takes a second and keeps the shoes in great shape with little maintenance.
Reply:REAL leather? Then wipe them with a damp cloth, %26amp; once dry, use saddle soap %26amp;/or shoe polish. If they're suede, use a foaming upholstery cleaner.
Reply:No no...go get yourself some "saddle soap", it's just for cleaning leather. The other stuff will dry it out and make it crack. Then get yourself some mink oil and spend an hour a so polishing them with the mink oil, which will waterproof them and make cleaning them easier later on.
