The company was a PLC, and as the new millennium property boom began to get up a 'full head of steam' the land the tannery was on became 'apparently' worth more than the tannery itself,and so the last British Tannery making top quality water repellent (WR100) boot leather was shut down.The specialist oils in Leder-Gris® penetrate the surface of the leather to keep it supple, whilst the waxes remain on (or closer) to the surface to enhance water repellency. Brush in Leder-Gris® Xtreme when the boots are ALMOST dry, use the brush to drive the wax-oil INTO the leather, ALWAYS treat with Leder-Gris® before storage. Leder Gris® is a waterproof wax for use in tough wet conditions it is a mixture of 70% wax and 30% oil. However, correct and constant use of Leder-Gris will extend the time before which flex cracking will occur. Not only is cleaning military boots important for public patrols, but overall maintenance will keep your uniform looking good for longer.

The 50% wax and 50% oil in Leder Gris Xtreme help to soften the leather on application and provide waterproofing as it dries which over time will increase the time before leather will crack. To resolve your query efficiently we use a claim form and case / ticket system, complete the form, add all the details required, and we'll get straight on to sorting it out. Developed by Altberg to be better than standard wax polishes and updated recently with a new improved formula, Leder Gris is a traditional boot care for modern leathers.

These bootcare products had been developed many years previously for leathers tanned in the old way, however, the new water repellent boot leathers were different - and although these bootcare products were acceptable on some leathers - they had a tendency to neutralise the water repellent components tanned into the more modern WR100/Anfibio/Hydro type leathers. Apply with a ‘putting on’ brush and buff vigorously into the surface of the leather, pay special attention to putting Leder-Gris into seams and areas where the boot flexes.

PET - clear container made from recycled plastics - the aluminium lid and PET container are fully recyclable. Higher oil content combined with waxes penetrates below the surface of the leather, especially when brushed vigorously after application with a ‘putting on’ brush. If leather is constantly going through a wet/dry cycle, hardening will eventually occur and flex cracking across the joint is inevitable. A brand new formula has been developed by recognised military boots brand Altberg, the Leder Gris wax is designed to be better than standard wax polishes. Don’t forget to pay extra attention to the stitching, this helps avoid abrasion of the stitched seams and sustains waterproofing.The oil goes deeper into the leather, and helps to maintain the leather’s suppleness by replacing leather oils lost during the drying out process. Leder-Gris original is suitable for all types of footwear used in average UK conditions and will not significantly soften leather. If leather shows signs of hardening, or after use in extreme wet conditions, use Leder-Gris® Xtreme as a ‘one-off’ treatment.

The formula is similar to Leder-Gris® (water repellent) but there is less oil and more wax in the formulation. We regret to say that we are unable to change the address or postcode on a parcel once it has been despatched. Altberg Leder Gris wax works on two levels, allowing wax to remain on the surface to increase the natural resistance of your army boots. Brush in Leder-Gris when the boots are ALMOST dry, use the brush to drive the wax-oil INTO the leather, ALWAYS treat with Leder-Gris before storage. o Drying boots too quickly will harden the leather and accelerate flex cracking - rapid drying may also shrink the boot and alter the fitting.

All leather will eventually show signs of cracking where the boot leather flexes, however, drying boots too quickly may shrink the boots and will also harden the leather and accelerate flex cracking – regular treatment of Leder-Gris will extend the time before cracking occurs. Timescale to deal with your claim - for technical faults or repairs we use the services of the original manufacturer or nominated agent for inspection, testing and high quality guaranteed repairs. The result was Leder Glös, which will give boots a high shine finish when used regularly – however for more adverse wet conditions, Leder-Gris remains the best product for waterproofing and keeping the natural oils in the leather. We had noted that after 6 months the leather we were using in our gamekeeper boots was absorbing 14% - over twice as much.
