Yep. Boots. Jay got a jar of leather moisturizer as part of his bday boot gift, and the instructions say to heat up your shoes at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes before applying the lotion. So, he did his boots first and then mine next. These were my dad's cowboy boots for a very long time when we were growing up, and when he was living with us in Atlanta he was going to pitch them but I said I wanted them instead. I am glad I did because they are a happy reminder of him.
They are in need of some serious care. The leather was super dry and the soles have holes all in them. My dad had them resoled several times when he wore them, but I kind of hate the idea of getting new soles. The holes remind me of how my dad wore every single pair of his shoes literally into the ground.
