Thank you so much for this tutorial man!...im a heavy timberland boot user, and have been researching on how to effectively clean my boot for a long time...this is by far the best.

What about full grain leather ? I have a new pair of Irish setter fifty's and they are full grain all my other boots are supple type leather and I just use saddle soap and dry them then use sno seal or leather conditioner or mink oil.
Hey I have a black timberlands that have a faded color. I tried cleaning it with a nubuck eraser at first cause i thought it was mold (faded color is greenish), but the faded color spread further. Should i just use the Kaps nubuck conditioner to get some color back or would that ruin the boots?
Good sire, I have the exact same pair as yours but the right side is covered in mold. Is there anyway i can recover nubuck from mold? I've contacted several shoe cleaner and they said they can't get rid of it completely and have to repaint the shoes with the cost of them losing the nubuck characters. What do you reckon i should do?
Спасибо тебе бро. Люблю эту обувь, ношу уже не первый год, постоянно сдавал в химчистку, но в этот раз решил сам почистить обувь. Ничего сложного. В Казахстане эта обувь не так популярна по сравнению с Dr. Martens. Но Martens не мой стиль.
Without being as rude as some of the comments I’ve read I think a Mr. clean magic eraser would work just as well and a regular nail brush so save your money. I’m gonna take a picture and do it on mine and we’ll see.
Use a mild detergent or saddle soap 🧼 it might take several washes. I’ll be doing a video soon about how to restore suede/nubuck leather that’s been over conditioned. It won’t look the same as original but can be brought back to an extent
Saddle soap can be used since it’s pretty mild. Diluted dish soap as well. Spring or tap water can leave deposits so alkaline or a similarly filtered water is better
I've owned three pairs of Timberland boots. By the time they got in the condition of needing to be cleaned like this, at least one sole detached. We may need a video on THAT!
This is the ONLY time you can start with water. Use a wet brush or towel to remove mud then allow to dry before beginning this process. You can dilute a very small amount of dish soap in a bowl of water if it helps remove the mud.
Thanks, this will work nicely on my new woodland(Indian copycat brand, decent quality authentic leather) shoes which were destroyed by a pigeon😢. Learnt a lot from this video, thanks again!
Checked out the saddle soup in your link. The product label at the back says: not for use on suede or rough leather. Won’t it damage the Timberland boots or its nap since suede and nubuck are usually grouped together? I mean if the label says not for use on suede, then it should also not be used for nubuck?
So u have to buy more. America thought the wu tang clan would be a worldwide phenomenon so they partnered them with the government and timberland in an effort to generate more money for weapon research. Facts
No offense but this process takes too long. I clean mine in a smaller period of time. And the look brand new again. But no hate just stating my opinion
WRONG........... Saddle soap is meant for LEATHER, not SUEDE. This is one of the worst videos on how to clean a Timberland. When a Timberland boot gets as fucked up as this pair, it's time to buy a new pair, and use the worn pair for bad weather wearing only.
@ Using too much saddle soap will stain the suede. I’ve been wearing and cleaning Timberlands for well over 30 years, and I’ve been a sneaker head for over 40 years. The techniques for cleaning in most of these videos are pure garbage. You notice they only show and tell you how to clean the suede, they never tell you how to clean the sole, side and bottom. A crisp clean sole on a pair of Timberland butters is just as important as how clean the nubuck suede looks and how well the laces look. There’s never any mention on how to properly clean laces, especially leather laces. Including sneakers, when it’s white laces, do you bleach them, use color safe bleach, washing machine, or hand wash, what are the techniques that you can use to get stains out of the laces. Should you iron them when they are drying or completely dry? Or should they hang dry? What about the inner sole? How about getting little rocks and pebbles out of the soles? Do you use a fingernail brush or a toothbrush or a scrub brush? What kind of soap do you use to clean the sole? Can you use liquid detergent? What if you need something stronger than a fingernail brush, do you know how to use a Scotch Brite Dobie cleaning pad on soles? Should the boots / sneakers air dry or can you put them in front of a fan to speed up the process? There is an actual art and technique to cleaning sneakers and boots, but they never go into detail.
@@aymeg Maybe YOU don't have enough money. A little advice: don't buy something to wear that you can't afford to replace if it gets damaged, stolen, or worn down. Stick with Eastland, Lugz, or soft-sole Timbs.
The tims can take just water for some small stains especially when new and dont rub to hard just basically blot. Then as they get older with more deeper stains, you can spray with a cleaner and run em through a wash cycle cold water and use shoe trees and dry outside. You can repeat that about 6 times as needed. Then eventually you just replace your tims and use the old ones for work outside or give to homeless people.

Glad I could help!
Agreed. Simple and easy explanatory without auto-pushing to buy a certain product.
The moment you apply some water and even soap some color will fade away, be prepared, especially if you pair is new with vibrant yellow
Is there anyway to bring back the color
@@Bishop782-l1o mink oil spray, just give it a light even dusting to re condition after using a suede shampoo and re fluffing the suede. It's the very last step
What's the purpose of them being waterproof then?
I see some dry spots and its very important to make sure if you’re wetting nubuck or suede then you need to wet everything or youll leave water marks
Hey can you make a video on restoring the black timberland
I cleaned my black timberlands and the color came off; I'm considering getting some black leather dye
Tbh for my black timbs soap water and a sponge and paper towels is all they need
@@NateS917 the black leather hiker shell toe..
Not swayed or soft leather the hard leather..
When you clean them the black come off and shows up as gray
Same here. I used water and soap on my black timbs, now they’re ashy/grey.
What about full grain leather ? I have a new pair of Irish setter fifty's and they are full grain all my other boots are supple type leather and I just use saddle soap and dry them then use sno seal or leather conditioner or mink oil.
johnston and murphy sells a suede and nubuck protector that protects against water and stains :) prevent those spots
Yep! I’ve used that one before, it works well.
Hello, can you please tell me what color these boots are?
Technically wheat color I think timberland calls them
0:14 seconds in 😮 What is a shoe eraser?

Nubuck conditioner should help darken. It will change the texture though.

I’d wash them with soap and water or nubuck cleaner and condition with Bick 4. They’ll never look the same but can have some color restored
Thank you
what should I do if I have a small burn in my timbs. I can feel the gape so I’m sure it’s not a small dirty spot
A burn cannot be corrected since the leather is charred and destroyed. You can darken the leather around the burn or just leave it be.
Great tutorial 👏🏼

Borat said different thing
I can only find the saddle soap in the yellow tin in the UK, is there a difference? Thanks
White tin should be used on lighter color leather and yellow tin on darker color leather.
Can i use a regular school eraser?
Yes! A white school eraser works great. I’d avoid the pink erasers and make sure there aren’t any pencil smudges on the eraser before using it! Haha
great question 😂
I mistakenly used the wrong polish on my boots which makes the surface more dry.. please how can i return it back to it's original?
I just created a video about this here: ua-cam.com/video/X6uifLJgxRo/v-deo.html
Without being as rude as some of the comments I’ve read I think a Mr. clean magic eraser would work just as well and a regular nail brush so save your money. I’m gonna take a picture and do it on mine and we’ll see.
Whatever works! Be careful with the magic eraser though since it’s an abrasive and can damage your nap if you get too aggressive with it
If you have used a magic eraser and the shoes have lost some nap, is there any way to restore it?…
Use a nap brush, sometimes you can’t restore it once it’s gone but you can brush up what fibers are left
@ Thank you, but it’s very smooth and lighter in colour… but it’s worth a try🙏🏼
Do you have any tips for someone who put leather conditioner on suede and wants to return the boot to its original leather?
Use a mild detergent or saddle soap 🧼 it might take several washes. I’ll be doing a video soon about how to restore suede/nubuck leather that’s been over conditioned. It won’t look the same as original but can be brought back to an extent
Is the saddle soap just for the dark oil spots? and must it be alkaline water or can it be any water?
Saddle soap can be used since it’s pretty mild. Diluted dish soap as well. Spring or tap water can leave deposits so alkaline or a similarly filtered water is better
@@edcvibesthanks for replying man!
hey what's a good alt for Angelus Suede/Nubuck Cleaner Kit? I'm in Canada and it wont ship to where am unfortunately.
Heavily diluted dish soap in warm water applied with a rag
Is it okay with normal eraser
As long as it’s white
@@edcvibes thanks man, saved me
I've owned three pairs of Timberland boots. By the time they got in the condition of needing to be cleaned like this, at least one sole detached.
We may need a video on THAT!
Damn what are you doing hooping in your Timberlands?
Can you polish to and how long will it stay clean?
Also can I use water from one of those home Brita water filters the pitcher type?
I wouldn’t polish but you can seal them with a balm proofer or waterproofing spray. Water from a brita is great!
Thanks!
how many cm these increases in heigh
Probably 3-4
What if my boots are covered in dry mud? How can I clean them off without getting wet before beginning this process
This is the ONLY time you can start with water. Use a wet brush or towel to remove mud then allow to dry before beginning this process. You can dilute a very small amount of dish soap in a bowl of water if it helps remove the mud.
@@edcvibes Instead of dish soap which is harsh, you can use moisturized baby shampoo.
Is there a way to make nubuck, water repellent?
Yeah! Use a clear balm proofer
Peroxide works really well too 👌
True. A lot of nubuck cleaners use a fast drying ingredient like peroxide or alcohol
Thanks, this will work nicely on my new woodland(Indian copycat brand, decent quality authentic leather) shoes which were destroyed by a pigeon😢. Learnt a lot from this video, thanks again!
Holly Molly man it is so hard to clean the nubucks rather than leather shoes which needs just polish. But anyway thanks for the awesome video
nice, ty!

It will be fine for Nubuck, you can always use a mild soap instead of saddle soap if you’re worried ☺️
What do you suggest I do if there are still stains even after using saddle soap on the boots?
@@JohnHix-j6y Use laundry detergent. It works great on suede from my experience.
@@verbotenco Better to use baby shampoo, if it is good for baby skin, it is safer for leather.
Nice editing on the clipnail. We all know the boots could not be that bright after cleaning. It's just impossible
You could dye them…
You called saddle soap a mild soap! You are aware that saddle soap damages the leather if you use it too often
Using the wrong soap and not removing laces was a strange choice
How you do it right ? I watched 2 other videos and they were using mostly dry cleaning with a maximum of gently apraying a cleaner on the suede.
@aranyrigo1871 watch Trenton and Heath do it right.
His hands say....they arent his boots 😂
Yep, bought these at a thrift store.
Eso es un borrador
Conclusión, no compren nobuck o suede 😂
Suede is just too much work fort me. Smooth leather all the way!
I very much agree!!
nubuck is the inside skin of leather
Yeah more or less :)
Why buy shoes that are extremely sensitive and difficult to maintain????????
That's the flexx 😂😂😂 expensive and damage easily
So u have to buy more. America thought the wu tang clan would be a worldwide phenomenon so they partnered them with the government and timberland in an effort to generate more money for weapon research. Facts
The only problem is People pick so bright colors. Nubuk is very durable shit
should just stuff the shoe before doing it
if you didn't say it would be asmr 😉
No offense but this process takes too long. I clean mine in a smaller period of time. And the look brand new again. But no hate just stating my opinion
What's your method?
What’s your method?
You don’t have to do any of these things all at once. A little daily/weekly maintenance makes a difference. Does brushing your teeth take too long?
Your ruining the look not the leather if you use wax or mink oil.
Completely useless. Just wear them with patina like they are.
To each their own. I personally like to clean and condition to lengthen the life of the shoe

Why would you buy a new pair when you can do this and they look back to normal, ar you a timberline salesman or something, stupid comment
You can use saddle soap very lightly. Leather IS suede

maybe we dont have enough money to buy new pair think about it?
