I am out of Huberd's and I need to oil a pair of my boots for an event tonight. Suggestions?? Would mink oil be a sin? Can I just saddle soap them to clean them up without oiling them immediatley?

Saddle soap with nothing else will dry them. If you are going to use mink oil be sure there is NO SILICONE in it. What about lexol?

I just happened to have some mink oil without silicone in it... The boots are my every day boots, not my Wescos, so I went ahead and used it. They look good. We'll see how it does. Thanks for the tip.

Hmmmm.... you may be able to get by with just saddle soaping them and having them look alright.

I've never used mink oil on my leather. I always use neatsfoot oil

What kind of Boots? Are they oil tanned or dry tanned?

If you didn't guess by my username, I have a large collection of Boots in my closets ;-)
