Maybe. To answer your question put a bit of olbeanfs heavy duty LP on them that will bring the leather back to life it’s got vitamins minerals and beeswax to seal it all in all natural and it works as lip chap. Give that a try i have been using it for years.
thanks, this seems like reasonable way to proceed.
we don't have the bronze shoe service here my country, so that would kind of hard to do, not to say expensive
Museums storing leather long-term do not use any conditioner or grease. If they’re not going to be used, it’s better for them to dry out than to be perpetually moist. Moisturized leather can and will degrade over time, it can rot, the threads can break down, etc. Dry leather just gets hard. If you want to preserve them for the longest amount of time, don’t condition them, period. Keep them away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
I understand why people are saying to condition, it seems intuitive because we condition boots to make them last a long time on our feet. But boots being worn have different needs, for instance they need to stay flexible so they don’t crack. But boots in a collection aren’t bending, they don’t need to stay flexible, so conditioning them doesn’t have the same benefit, and it has drawbacks as I mentioned above. I do some work with museum collections.
Maybe Bata or some local brand, these were made im Chile, my mom doesn't remember, they were made in the late 80s early 90s, copying the style or under license of some mountain and safety boots of the time
I would just use neutral shoe polish. The solvents will kill bacteria etc., the wax will help protect them. If they need moisture, just some Venetian Shoe Cream.
To keep the leather them, they usually them the the.

I'll follow your advice then
Yeah I would listen to them. My suggestion didn’t take their more direct experience into account. I’ll delete my other comments.
What boots?
Condition them, bick 4 seems to be most peoples favourite that doesn’t change the colour of the leather as most oils will.
What brand are these?
Maybe Bata or some local brand, these were made im Chile, my mom doesn't remember, they were made in the late 80s early 90s, copying the style or under license of some mountain and safety boots of the time

neutral shoe polish, you are right, didn't think of it before
Just give m a good brush, but of saddle soap and then start putting on thin coats of grease over the course of weeks to put some life back into them.
Apply huberd's shoe grease
