I used to use silicon liquid from the can .. was issued... and caused the boots to rot/crack as well as the eyelets to pull out. I avoid it now. Mink oil seems to soften the leather too much causes it to stretch so I avoid it as well. Have been using the Danner labeled stuff in small jars and it seems to work ok. Have read in other places that the Obenauf's is good but haven't found any locally...when I do I will try it.
NikWax gets a lot of recommendations as well.
