Q&A: Steel Blue work boot Dubbin: What it does and when to use it

Dubbin is your go-to mate and one of the best work boots accessories for keeping your boots in tip-top condition. This waxy wonder does more than just shine your leather boots; it protects and boosts longevity of the leather.

Let’s examine Steel Blue’s Dubbin and how it ensures your boots remain in optimal condition.

What is Steel Blue Dubbin?

Steel Blue’s Dubbin is a specially crafted wax treatment that nourishes and protects your leather work boots. Our Dubbin extends the life of your boots while keeping them comfortable and functional.

What are the benefits of using Steel Blue Dubbin?

Our Dubbin offers several key advantages:

  • It protects the leather from drying out and cracking.
  • It softens the leather, making them more supple.
  • It nourishes the leather from harsh elements.
  • It improves water resistance.

By using Steel Blue Dubbin regularly, you’ll keep your boots in prime condition, ready to tackle any job.

How often should I apply Steel Blue Dubbin?

We recommend applying some Dubbin every 4-6 weeks for top-notch protection. However, if you’re slogging through harsh environments or your boots regularly encounter water, chemicals, or oils, you might need to apply it a bit more often.

Can I use Steel Blue Dubbin on all types of leather boots?

Steel Blue Dubbin works best on full-grain leather boots. We don’t recommend using it on Nubuck leather, as it can alter the texture and appearance of this type of leather.

Will Steel Blue Dubbin darken my boots?

Steel Blue Dubbin might initially give your boots a darker hue. But don’t worry—this effect usually fades as the Dubbin gradually absorbs into the material.
