Care and Protection for Black Leathers – Made in France

French leather care for items that venture outdoors.

A. Godillot Imperial Black Grease is designed to maintain, nourish, and protect black leathers subjected to the most demanding conditions: gardening, equestrian sports, hunting, hiking, outdoor work. It is particularly suitable for robust leather boots, work shoes, ankle boots, hiking boots, gloves, and accessories.

Made in France, it helps preserve the leather's suppleness, limit its drying out, and revive the depth of its black shade. The right gesture to make the equipment you love to wear last, season after season.

Why use a leather grease?

Whether in the forest, at the stables, in the garden, or on the trails, black leather is exposed to mud, humidity, dust, friction, and temperature variations. Without regular maintenance, it can become dry, stiff, and lose its beautiful appearance.

A. Godillot Imperial Black Grease accompanies your equipment throughout its use. It applies easily to clean, dry leather to nourish the material, preserve its suppleness, and maintain the appearance of black shoes or accessories.

Instructions for use

1. Brush shoes or accessories thoroughly to remove dirt, dust, and dried mud.
2. Ensure the leather is perfectly clean and dry.
3. Take a small amount of grease with a soft cloth or applicator brush.
4. Apply a thin layer over the entire leather, focusing on folds, seams, and exposed areas.
5. Allow to penetrate for several hours, ideally overnight.
6. Remove excess with a clean cloth, then polish lightly if necessary.

Maintenance tips

For boots used regularly at the stables, in the forest, or in the garden, apply the grease when the leather appears dry, dull, or after several outings in the rain and mud. Regular application helps keep shoes more supple and comfortable to wear.

Do not overload the leather: a thin, well-massaged layer is more effective than an overly generous application.

Precautions for use

• Always test on an inconspicuous area before first use.
• The grease may slightly alter the shade or finish of the leather, especially on dry or lightly pigmented leathers.
• Do not use on suede, nubuck, velvet leather, textiles, synthetic materials, or patent leather.
• Do not apply to wet or very dirty leather.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Follow the instructions and precautions on the packaging.
