holster and leather protection

[Johnny Peppers]

To each their own, but in 25 years of using the popular goo I have never had a bad experience, and I have brought back many pieces of leather from their death bed. I have a pair of Gokey snakeproof boots that were bought in the early 60's that have had a yearly treatment of a "goo" that resembles axle grease sold and recommended by Gokeys, and the boots have not gone flat, rotted, or dissolved in all that time. In fact, except for the scratches in the leather they look much the same as when purchased. They were made from 9oz bull hide and the tops are just as tough and firm as ever. Today they are in remarkably good condition considering the miles they have on them and I expect for them to outlast me by a long shot. Had they just sat in a closet for the past 40 years they would now be dry rotted.
