Caligae treatment?
#16
Run a search for mineral oil leather. As I say, I haven't yet found a source that looks authoritative, but there are tons of claims out there that mineral oil weakens leather, traps moisture and causes dry rot, or something else bad.

I wouldn't risk it, even though the stuff is cheap.

Mink oil is good, though it tends to leave a white residue if any little bit of it isn't absorbed.

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

To pick myself up from under this table...
