Customer Reviews Frye Leather Conditioning Cream

This product is great. It conditions the leather perfectly. I would advise using it several times on new Frye boots in the beginning, then as needed. It gives the leather a slight shine, but not real glossy - perfect look for boots.

I bought Frye Leather Conditioning Cream after buying two pairs of Frye boots from Zappos. Before buying the Frye Cream, I tried a different product, and it did not give me the results I wanted. After using the Frye Cream, I noticed how shiny and sleek the leather became. The rain slides off of my treated boots in beads, and my boots don't get soaked. I love this cream because it can be used for all colors of leather. I would definitely recommend it!

Ordered this to protect my Wife's and my own Frye boots. It was very easy to apply and didn't take too much time. Saw some reviews that this product can make the color darker; however, I didn't really see much of a difference which is a good thing. Haven't really had a chance to see the weatherproofing in action as we try not to wear our boots in rainy/snowy weather, but my wife did say that it was easier to get salt off. Good buy and excellent service and shipping from Zappos!

Love this stuff! Excited to have something that really protects my Frye boots, which I love also! Very thankful to find this product at such an affordable price!

It was a gift for my granddaughter who loves this cream. She says it works the best of any she has tired.

This qorks great! I bought this for my first pair of frye boots. It was recommended to me by a friend who owns Fryes. It works great, goes on easy, super simple to apply. I used an old cotton shirt to apply the balm. It made my cognac Paige boots look super shiny and gorgeous! It did not seem to darken my boots at all but made them look just as beautiful in color. I definitely recommend this for Fryes. I would use this over the spray, I personally have not used the spray but in using this it seems a lot easier and I would be afraid of using a spray on my very expensive dollar boots, afraid of blotchy stains and whatnot.

Worked well on smooth leather plum-colored Frye Engineer boot; didn't darken the tone but did return flexibility and moisture to the leather. Only used about a tablespoon for the pair, so this can will likely last several years.

I used it on my new boots. Goes on easily. It did darken them a little, but not enough so it matters.

I admit I'm a boot care newbie and looked into this after a friend recommended moisturizing the leather on my pair of Harness 8R W. Like everyone else has said, this waxy cream will darken the leather; my boots were the tan color and they've darkened to a chocolately shade. The leather is more flexible and supple, too! As of writing this they're still drying so the color may or may not lighten, but I love the color regardless and will be using it when my shoes look like they need some love. :)

Excellent product! I used it on a pair of Naturalista shoes that had the red leather quite worn out in the toe area. This Frye cream covered all the little scratches and gave a uniform color to the shoe. I'm very impressed! Now I can wear these shoes next summer because they now look very close to brand new!

Took a little longer to apply this product vs. the weather resistant spray but did not change the color of my brand new boots, so I did not mind at all! Made them extra shiny and after 4 weeks of wear, they haven't changed a bit!

Frye Leather Conditioning Cream makes my Frye boots soft and waterproof. My new boots (Melissa Tall Lace Up) needed two coats of this cream for water to bead up on the leather. I also used this on some old, dried-out Frye boots that I found at a thrift shop. At first, I used the Walking Company's Beeswax sealer (which works great on other leather) on the Frye's. The beeswax didn't work as well on the Frye boots, which still seemed kind of dry and stiff. After I used the Frye Conditioning Cream on the old boots, they became soft, supple and gorgeous. I've since used it on my 10 year old, black leather Dansko clogs and it makes them look good as well. While applying Frye Cream to my boots, I got some on my hands. Frye Cream even makes my hands soft. :-)

Used it on my Frye boots and it seems to bring some of the original supple creaminess back into the leather. Price seems fair compared to shoe polish at the drug store.

This product will darken your boots! Now that we have got that out of the way I would like to say that this is an excellent weather-proofer and goes a long way. This product will leave your boots soft, pliable and well protected. A little bit of love goes a long way with a good pair of boots.

Very highly recommend! Really brings out the beauty of the leather and helps to protect it. Wouldn't use anything else. I used it not only on my new Fryes but on a pair of Ariat cowboy boots - worked wonders on both.

I absolutely love this stuff! I needed a weather-proofing cream for my boots and purse in preparation for semester in Korea. I knew it there was going to be plenty of snow everywhere! I was lazy and let my boots brave the heavy rain and deep snow for about a month and half. Keep in mind I wore these boots everyday day; I decided to give the cream a try in the dead of the Korean winter. The moment I applied the cream (with a cotton wash cloth), it was as if my boots had just come from the store. I was afraid the color would change, but instead the cream just brought back its shine and richness. Tip: do wipe/buff off the excess cream. I ended up being able to stomp all around Seoul for the next few months, and they still look fantastic! Also tried the cream on my Rebecca Minkoff purse. Not as great results, but most likely because of the finish on the leather. Nevertheless, my purse is indeed shinier.

I used this cream to weatherproof my Melissa Buttons and it's worked well so far. With a small hand towel I applied the product, moving from small area to small area to make sure I covered the entire boot. I let them dry over night and they were perfect to wear the following day. My boots were already a dark brown so it didn't darken the boots significantly but I could definitely see how it would darken lighter colored boots. I barely made a dent in the container so I'm sure this can will last me while. You've invested a lot in these boots, buy this cream to take care of them!

These boots are flawless. If you would have told me I'd ever spend this much money on a pair of boots, I'd have laughed you out of the room. But seriously...I have not one regret (besides not being able to afford more colors!). The leather is absolutely beautiful; it's so soft and smooth. The styling on these is beyond gorgeous and I imagine they will never go out of style. When I first put them on I literally thought they were custom made because they fit so well. I normally wear a 7-7.5 and ordered a 7 and it is perfect. They fit my calves wonderfully (I have below average-average sized calves). I could see them being a little too tight on somebody with wider calves though (sorry athletes). I'm 5'3" and was worried about them being too high up on the leg but they literally are amazing and hit maybe 2 inches below the knee. The zipper is amazing and makes it so easy to put on/take off the boots. I ordered the fawn color, and despite my earlier reservations, I love it now. The arch support is amazing. I am pretty sure I could run a marathon in these and be completely fine. If you can at all afford these, please don't hesitate. I imagine these would end up being cheaper in the long run as they'll last for years instead of having to replace cheaper pairs. This is my first pair of Frye boots, but I am so sold on the brand now.

I have the Frye Harness 12R boots in tan. I've had them for a little more than a year and a half now. I go to school in the northeast; because this winter really dulled down the look of my boots I decided to order the cream, never having treated my boots before. It made such a difference! It doesn't darken the leather as much as making the color richer, and I got complimented on my boots the morning after I polished them. Absolutely recommended, no matter how old your Fryes are! Additionally, you won't need a lot, so it'll last and you'll also be able to use it on different items.

I bought a pair of "new to me" Frye campus boots that were dry and parched. I have put 3 coats of cream on them now over a course of 1 month. Now the leather is rich and supple and looks gorgeous! This is a great product.

Great stuff! I was worried about what to put on my Fryes... until I found this. :) I don't think it waterproofs very well, but certainly conditions. Very nice product.

I bought this cream in lieu of a new pair of Frye boots. I used it on an old pair of Nine West boots that I have had for five years. They look so much better now! I do agree with the reviewer who said it darkens the color of the leather, but it felt like I was doing the right thing and taking care of an old pair of boots I love. It helped lessen the look of scarring / drying / water marks that the boots have accumulated over the years. This was money well spent!

I love this stuff. I read somewhere that it can darken the leather. I have the Melissa Button Boot in Cognac and they didn't get any darker. I used it after having the boots for 3 months and it made the leather look good as new and softened any creases that were forming.

Easy to apply. If you're messy, like me, I recommend having extra cloths on hand. It didn't change the color of the boot, which I was afraid of happening.

Works well to restore shine to leather and weatherproof it to prevent staining in the rain, etc. However, do not use it on distressed looking boots if you like them like that. I polished some distressed boots and they looked brand shiny new and I hated it. Luckily, if you do that, you can put acetone on a rag and wipe the cream off to get back to the distressed look.
