Mark, I’ve used a natural beeswax on my leather boots and shoes and even leather jackets, gloves etc for years, much better than Dubbin...and by the way, there’s no G in Dubbin! I rarely use water either, preferring to baby wipes, yes, baby wipes! Just let your muddy boots dry off and knock off the dry mud and give them a good rub with a dry, stiff shoe brush or nail brush to get the majority off. Then comes the baby wipes....They clean leather produces really well and they are kind enough for babies skin and have moisturisers in them too. Another little tip for when your bikes boots or work boots etc is...when they start to get a bit ‘funky’ on the nose or preferably before they get too funky. Chuck inside a couple of those anti-static/scented tissue things made for put in the tumble dryer with your clothes.
They’ll stay as fresh as a daisy and you can even get away with leaving a sheet in the bottom of the boot when you’re wearing them on a long ride. 👍

Bloody Brilliant! 👍
Hi Mark, I used dubbing for years but now use beeswax on my TCX boots, it seems to get into the leather better stopping it from drying out and keeping it waterproof.
Thanks Gary! 👍
Thanks for the shout-out. You'll need to try our Leather Cleaner & Leather Conditioner Mark, great for looking after your leather surfaces and riding gear.
My pleasure mate and yeah always happy to try great products! 👍
Nice work Mark! I'll have to get after my boots!
Hi Mark, I am interested in this because I purchased a pair of Forma Adventurer low boots about a month ago
Mine are brown and the first thing I did was give them a coat of Dubbin. Made them go quite a bit darker
Was told when I bought them that those adjustable straps can be purchased separately if you need replacements
Very comfortable, but took a while to get used to using the rear brake and the gear lever after using different boots
Forma boots are made in Romania and very well made too.
Good Onya Mate! 👍
I have a new.paor also I used a waterproofing spray....give it a coat let it dry then give it another coat. Couldn't be easier, You can always conditoon the leather later after you.have broken them in.
And all this time I thought your Forma adventures were the brown model not black hahaha.
🤣 yeah they did look like them 🤣
Lmfao! Best comment on here. Legit me too, 100%. It turned into a surprised reveal video for me by the end.
Hi Mark, what i do to clean my mountain biking shoes is use a waterless wash with a scrubbing brush it works a treat.
Hello Mark YES for the Dubbing! I have used it for years on my riding boots, no drama Dubbing is made for Leather, does not seal the leather, just keeps them fit and proper....no water.... Another bloody video....Make sure you rest up...LOL....David...Adelaide Tiger 900GT FIRST! LOL
Great Stuff David... Thanks 👍
Thanks David, I used Dubbin on my new Forma boots as soon as I got them
Your comment is reassuring
What a out simple traditional black shoe polish you get in those leather cans with an applicator and buffing brush, just like shining any leather shoes
Ok I reckon the term should be dubbin-ing. I'm so old school I still treat all my leather jackets twice yearly on a sunny day and the waxed cotton gear even gets treated occasionally too. Dubbing sounds so wrong. Great video. I finally wore my pair of these exact boots even though I have had them for 2 years. Nice and light. I'm not too sure on how crash-worthy they are but they seem like reasonable quality. The only gripe is the toe box is very tall even compared to my bmw gs mx boots. Makes setting the gear lever height a pain when you have lots of different footwear.
Thanks for the schooling! 🤣👍
I might head out to the shed and clean mine now...
LOL... Good Onya David 🤣
What about inside you don't clean the shoes inside??
It really works great. I'm sure it would lengthen the life of the boot too.
Crickey Mark! Nay must be following you around full-time, carrying an extra large fire extinguisher. "Camp Stove Canisters & Adaptors", heater mishaps, it's a wonder you've still got ya hair, eyebrows and even a shed to stand in! 🔥
🤣
Beeswax, same as normal work boots, when going to the Aggy shows and getting that free trial of the product in motion and walking about for a while and getting the other one done with another watch, got almost 15 years on one pair... wore throw the sole.
Brilliant! 👍
My favorite part of this video is the t-shirt that only rhymes if you speak with an Aussie accent
Nikwax, Pure Beeswax or lastly Dubbin. I have used all three, Dubbin is the most traditional (old fashioned)
Nikwax would be my go to, I use it on my boots, shoes and camping gear. It's available as a liquid and "gunge", I like both.
The issue with modern boots is goretex, cambrelle etc not being able to breathe as you pointed out.
Though for the amount of rain you get and the heat they are exposed to, dunno mate lol.
I would go liquid Nikwax and not gunge, deffo not Dubbin.
This is from perspective of wet cold UK so take this all with a pinch...
How is your arm now after your tumble are you fixed? All best 👍
Thanks for that mate and the shoulder is back to normal! 👍
I have the same boots and use Nikwax conditioner for leather on my boots.
I wouldn't advise using Dubbin as this will soften the boot leather and it will loose some of is mechanical protection.
Oh now that you say that I think I heard that mentioned! Thanks 👍
Always been using dubbin, but thinking 🤔 im switching to bees 🐝 wax
you are from wicklow area ireland ? ( using bloody every time ) lol
Mark, saddle soap is another good leather cleaner & conditioner.
Cool Bananas! 👍
Just make sure you use a leather conditioner that has no petroleum based oil products in it. Read the ingredients. If it's not good enough to put on your own skin, you shouldn't be putting it on your leather either. Sounds cliche I know but you're feeding the leather to restore it's natural properties, one of which is water resistance.
Sounds good to me! 👍
Maybe try the boot clean cycle on the dishwasher...... 😁
🤣
Ohhh nice, like a bought one. I brush clean then condition once a month then I soft wax the seams/stitches. Btw did I miss the post about no MCT?
Xmas MCT!
So I was taking my forma terras apart to clean them and the bolts are spinning almost freely as the mounts have come loose. Has anyone seen this before? Any solutions? Thanks!
No I haven't... Maybe contact them through there website!
Mink Oil
Whats inside that bloody bottle Jack ??
I'm kinda disappointed in these boots, they leaked in about 5th ride... and it was pretty painful when my 160kg bike dropped on my foot(not really dropped even, just gently rolled with the rear wheel on a steep climb).
Good grip on dirt though, and pretty comfortable.
Never cleaned them from summer(underneath all that dirt there is just cheap boot wax)...
Thanks mate! 👍
There adventure boots ment for paved roadways and some light trails but if your riding hard motocross type trails a firmer none maliable boot is recommended. The trade off is the comfort tou will give up but it will keep your feet, ankels and shins free of injuries.
Never cleaned my boots, might have to now
🤣👍
I just chuck em n the washing machine, they come up a treat! mind you I've replaced the washing machine 3 times in the last 4 years. So there is that.....
🤣 Great stuff mate! 👍
I clean with wd40
WOW 😳
I used WD40 on an old pair of motorcycle deer leather gloves. I use them for work and yard gloves now. I've had em in mud etc and they just need a dry out and spray and the just keep going. Stuff works great!!
Mr Zoggs sex wax LOL jokes aside used dubbin now use bees wax as well
Hot and sexy for all of the blokes.... so true. 🤭
🤣👍
sexy for the blokes?
🤣
