Hi Sean,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about THE CORONADO 6 INCH BOOT - STANDARD LUG and your experience with the mink oil treatment, and we sincerely apologize that the color change was so dramatic that it completely altered the appearance of your boots from the original color to a dark greenish/brown.

Your feedback about the mink oil causing such an unexpected and significant color transformation beyond normal darkening is valuable information for other customers considering using mink oil.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest experience and for your continued support of American-made products as a former Marine and 26-year career firefighter, as we're always working to improve our product guidance and ensure our customers know what to expect when caring for their Origin gear.
