Greases have always been the first option to waterproof leather both in shoes and in different sports accessories and saddlery.
Over time, spray protectors have been incorporated for their most practical use and the ability to maintain the original color and not darken it.
But when we want to use a good grease that provides us, not only waterproofing but also nutrition, we ask ourselves How to choose the correct grease?
Below we explain the differences that exist between our range of greases.
This comparison will help you choose the most suitable product according to your needs:

Dubbin smells petrol. I don’t want to smell diesel och gasoline from my leatherjacket. Is it fossile oil in Dubbin?
Hello Anders, our Dubbin has a Grease fragrance. Regars.
Which of the greases is the best for protecting leather soles (both the sole material and the stitches)? I need to make it completely water-proof.
The comparison points out that Mink has the best waterproofing qualities, but Dubbin is the saddlery (with which leather soles have a lot in common) option and the only one where soles are mentioned. I’m confused.
Hello John! Thanks for writing to us. To protect the leather soles of your shoes, we recommend a product from one of the brands in our group. Sole Guard Medaille d’Or. It is the best specialized product for your need. If you have any other questions, we are in contact. Greetings.
Which type of grease is best recommended for leather bags and belts? Based on this article it seems like the most suitable choice would be the Mink Oil?
And should they go on before or after cream waxes?
Hello Mttheew: Right, you can use Tarrago Mink Oil. With the grease you provide a lot of hydration and protection, so it is not necessary to apply waxes. Unless you want to apply color. Remember before applying the grease, clean the surface. Greetings.
