Cowboy boots make me nervous because they do often end up more complicated to bootblack than most of the normal fetish men footwear. This pair, however, just needed standard hard wax and a bit of nourishment cream. The one difficulty was they were brown. Brown leather is difficult to match, and I had to use neutral polish for the first time in ages. Finally, I had someone who had a new pair of grinders and needed their first polishing. This was difficult as grinders come with a rather nasty factory coating these days, and normally I would do a full strip down at home. However, the boot's owner said they would be happy for me to do my best with my standard kit, and I have to say the job ended up being much better than I thought I could achieve first time.",
