Will this product discolor a light brown leather boot?

It will darken the leather somewhat!But it will also water proof and seal the leather.I use it to seal and protect the stitching on my boots and so far it's worked all winter with just one coat

Yes it will most definitely will. Not to point that it would make then dark brown. Just more of a dark tan!!

Hi, Mike--I used it on 3 pairs of leather shoes (2 black and one medium brown) and didn't see any change in color. I'll never buy anything else again to treat my leather (and it is so quick and easy to use!). Good luck!

Yes. If you can imagine what the boot would look like soaking wet, that is the color this product will permanently make your boot.

Yes, Sno-Seal will darken he surface of lighter leather. I used it on a pair of Columbia hiking boots I had just purchased, which were not a light brown, but a medium dark brown, and they were a noticeably darker after I coated them with Sno-Seal. I liked the look, but you need to be aware it will darken.

I used Sno-Seal on these boots. Clarks Men's Bushacre 2 Desert Boots I bought the beeswax leather color and after applying Sno-Seal they are a very dark brown. If you notice the brown on the soles it is noticeably lighter than the leather after I applied Sno-Seal. I hope that helps.

According to Bick, it will not darken leather; but they recommend checking. It has not darkened my boots; good stuff.

I have used it on washable suede like boots. It worked terrifically on them. No color or texture change.

Yes, they work great on dress boots and casual boots. I also use them on my dress shoes. No problems with stains on lighter colours. For my winter boots, I recently tried this product instead: Kiwi Boot Protector, 12 Ounce It works great, but it does darken the colour on anything not black, and changes the feel of the boots since it's basically applying a layer of silicone. For normal, everyday wear (including in rain), I stick with the product you have asked about.

I used it on my Red Wing Harvester. It darkens the leather then after a month after application it Lightens up but not to the original color. The darkening is a proof for me that product really seeps into the leather. And when the leather dries out, it will go back to the original color but then u will know that u need to apply the LP again.

I put it on darker wood and have only the first coat on it so far. I dont think I will be able to tell over this dark wood if it has any discoloration.

I would not worry about it, the polish will work itself out and you will not notice a difference. I two machines, one for black polish and one for brown and I do not worry about buffing shoes on either one

It might look darker when it's wet, but as it dries and being black you should see no color change in my experience. If you're worried about it just try it on a small patch on the back of the boot, but you should be fine. Good Luck

Of course, just make sure to melt it in with a hair dryer. I use it on every pair of leather boots I go through, reapplying as it gets worn & scratched.

In my experience this product works Ok to soften the leather but will darken it and will leave a residue.

It does darken the leather. I used it on a pair of boots and it made them two shades darker - but I liked it!

I just used it on a medium-brown leather chair and a dark-brown couch. If it darkened either one, it was very slight. I'm happy with how they turned out.

It works great on nubuck as far as functionality, but be advised that your boots will essentially look and feel like smooth leather after using. It also significantly darkened the color on mine (from light brown to dark brown). I actually liked my boots better after using this, but my boots are are for hiking in wet/muddy weather, and this was great protection for that purpose. If you want to maintain the nubuck texture and color, this might not be the right product.

I would guess not. I warmed the jar with a hair dryer making it pretty soft. I generously rubbed it into the leather then used the hair dryer on the boots. The product soaked in almost disappearing. Leather has stay darker all winter. Never had a product waterproof like this stuff. I give it a A++++++++++

Hi Greg:I used this product on two of my sweetie's leather purses; one white and one dark brown. I did not notice any discoloration on the two purses. If these Docker's are the light color of boat shoes, you might try applying a small amount on a portion of the tongue of one shoe and see how it performs.Good luck and I hope this helps you. It is a superb product.

Quite possibly, most of these shoe stretch products say not to but I used it on a pair of sneakers with suede and it stretched the leather just fine. The suede was black and I didn't see any discoloration. I'd recommend you try it in a hard to see spot first though, just in case.

I tried it once on my brown leather shoes and it did a good job. Try it first with a few little drops and and see how it does.
