What's a Neat? It turns out that it's just cattle and they use their feet and other parts to make up this oil. We have heard the rumors. I have heard bad enough stuff that I simply have always steered clear of it. (No pun intended)
I did a quick google search and the same issues I have heard popped up. I quote:
"In the long run, neatsfoot oil is prone to oxidising, causing leather to crack and deteriorate. As such, it's wise to avoid using it on items that you've invested heavily in and plan on keeping for many years, like leather jackets and wallets."
"Neatsfoot oil is known to degrade the stitching over time"
These points have always been what I have been warned about and is why I will never use Neetsfoot Oil. No matter what the results are short term, it can have harmful effects years down the road it seems.
