Leather Cleaner, Conditioner, and Protection Care Made in the USA

I recently had a chance to try some leather conditioner from FRYE, after experiencing disappointing performance from a high-end name-brand whose "conditioner" came from China. The difference was night and day, and a good reminder that some expensive brands don't manufacture their own accessories and cleaning products, but outsource to the lowest bidder and slap their name on it. That's not the case for Frye.

Here are some outstanding products from Frye:

Frye Leather Care Kit - Contains cleaner, conditioner, brush, cloth, and gift box

Deodorizer Spray - Good if your household suffers from stinky feet and works with all footwear

Waterproof balm - Adds a waterproof barrier for your leather shoes, even if they aren't "waterproof"

Water and Stain repellant - Doesn't protect shoes quite as completely as the balm, but easier to apply and good for light to moderate protection

Leather conditioner - Leather is animal skin, and over time it'll dry out, discolor, scuff, and crack. This keeps your leather soft and flexible as new, and works not just on shoes but bags, jackets, furniture, etc.

Leather cleaner - Much safer to use on leather than traditional cleaners, and necessary before conditioning.

Sueded and Nubuck cleaner - Perfect to use if someone did, in fact, step on your blue sueded shoes.

A reminder that I might get a commission through orders through these links, which I re-invest in hosting the site, doing more research, and creating more content. Thanks!
