Do you do anything crazy to your boots to get them winter ready? I snagged a pair of AE Bayfields for a good price. Would a normal conditioning & cream routine do me justice for rain/snow?

I mostly wear my Bean Boots for winter slush and snow. 

The one thing you may want to do after wearing them is wash them once in a while with saddle soap to get the salt off of them so it doesn’t ruin the leather. 

As for doing more than that, I can’t really say. Obaneuf’s LP gets recommended on forums, but apparently it darkens the leather, too.
