My boots were unwearable due to the stiffness of the leather until a put them through the wetting process. Also, in the review that Rose & Anvil did on YouTube, he said the leather was quite thin, which I didn't find the case at all.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkX3sZDBZZE<br />dangerous9strapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236487166297260817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831336478736969981.post-31437932239761436112023-01-04T04:20:22.876-08:002023-01-04T04:20:22.876-08:00Chris,

Denatured alcohol worked fine but I had to saturate the leather to get it to work. If I was you, I’d avoid soaking them in a pale of water and wearing them damp to create creases as I’m pretty sure that was the process step which stretched the leather on a section of one of my boots more than normal.

If that doesn't work Corcoran may have changed the finish/leather that they use on their boots. In this case, unfortunately, I don't know how you should proceed.

I have tried acetone and denatured alcohol and I am having a really hard time. I stripped a pair, very easily, a couple years ago, that I had purchased a couple years prior. The old pair had the black soles. This new pair have brown soles and the model number on the tongue is CV1511. Any recommendations on a better stripping agent that won't destroy the leather?

There is probably about 10 layers of wax on them by now and the toes and the heals of the boots take a mirror shine very well. Of course, I have not stood in puddles - they Gore-Tex lined so I wouldn't expect them to be totally waterproof. Also, given the very low-profile rubber outsole I don't wear them in the snow. but walking in the rain you should have no issues. dangerous9strapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236487166297260817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831336478736969981.post-27464116429592874952022-10-22T15:40:37.221-07:002022-10-22T15:40:37.221-07:00Thanks for the awesome detail, about to this mysel...Thanks for the awesome detail, about to this myself!
