Forms factor: Available as single 8 oz or a 2-pack, great when you’re treating more than one pair—or maybe your whole wardrobe. Why It’s a Solid 5-Star in My Book 1. One-spray wonder It’s like the Swiss Army knife of leather care—four steps in one. Clean dirt, soften fibers, polish scales, and add a shield—all without juggling multiple jars. I lurve efficiency. 2. Deep and effective hydration This spray doesn’t just skim the surface—it sinks into pores to revive old leather and preserve newer pieces. Think of it as a spa day for your boots. 3. Versatility—to the max Use it wherever exotic leather lives—in boots, belts, wallets, handbags—you get the idea. It’s the MVP in your cleaning kit for reptile hides. 5. No sticky drama The formula dries clean—no icky residue. Which means your gloves, boot boxes, and scale‑tops stay spotless. Application Routine: From Meh to Marbled Shine Shake well. Give it a good swirl—science demands it. Spray evenly across the exotic hide. Wipe lightly with a soft, clean cloth—evens the coat and removes excess. Let it dry, then buff with a dry cloth for glow. Optional: follow up with Gard-More for extra waterproofing (that’s from Bickmore’s own directions). Minor Nitpicks (Because I Have to Stay Real) Possible darkening—some users have reported slight color shifts (like on goat hide), though many others say there’s zero change—dry test first. Pump cap variance—a few folks noted the sprayer nozzle can be finicky or too weak. Not a deal breaker—just give it a few tries. Size matters—8 oz is manageable, but if you have a closet of crocodile Florence, you might burn through it. Pro tip: double packs are economical Final Verdict If your exotic boots deserve VIP treatment, this spray is the butler they need. It cleans, conditions, polishes, and protects—in one sleek bottle. On a scale of meh to marvelous, it's “marvelous” with a capital M. Five stars, no doubt.

I discovered Bick 4 around 2015 and was amazed with the difference it made when I used it on my '90's black Tony Lama boots and light gray leather interior in my 1994 Thunderbird. The boots became soft, and the car seats felt like a leather chair in a living room after they drank it in. Awhile later, I discovered Bick Exotic and decided to try it on my Exotic Tony Lama Boots. My 4 pair of Tony Lama Exotics are (from L-R) Natural Teju Lizard, Boa Constrictor, Python and Cobra. While they all have an amber color to them, this is not due to the Bickmore. They all looked exactly like they do now before I ever applied Bickmore to them. These boots were all purchased off eBay between 2008 and 2013 and are probably Black/Gold Label Boots from the 70's/80's. The Teju Lizard, Boa and Python were barely worn. The Cobra saw a good amount of wear and has metal tarnish from heel and toe protectors that were on them at some point. They all have their original soles and heels. After doing some research, I've learned that reptile skins turn amber due to a combination of how they are cured as well as exposure to elements such as age, sun, cigarette smoke etc. I know for a fact that sun exposure is a big deal. I had a pair of water snake boots that got dark spots (sunburn) due to sitting in a spot in an apartment of mine that got sun for a few hours a day. Please know, before I learned about Bickmore Exotic, I was using Bick 4 on all of these exotic boots with no issues. It worked so good on my black boots and car seats, I took a chance with it and it worked fine. However... The Bickmore Exotic is a thinner liquid spray and seems to get under the snake scales better than the Bick 4. The Boa Constrictor scales are smaller than the Python and Cobra and the boots always seemed to have a sandpaper feel to them even after conditioning them with Bick 4. Since using the Bick Exotic, the Boa still have a coarser/brittle feel, than the Python and Cobra, but they seem to respond better and are softer with the Bick Exotic. So far, both Bickmore products have worked well for me. Suggestions.... Like the instructions say....Always do a test in an inconspicuous spot to see if you may have a discoloration issue. Just because I didn't have any issues, doesn't mean that you won't. My exotics aren't new, have age discoloration and may have been cured differently than newer exotics. If you aren't familiar with the care of reptile skin, watch a few videos on the internet. Also, make sure you have reptile skin and not a print. After watching a few video's and having observed how my boots have reacted to both Bickmore products, I created my own routine. When it's time to condition, I brush my boots with the scales. I then use a smaller brush in gentle small circles to apply the Exotic so that it can get under the scales and let it sit. Depending on how the boots feel I may repeat this once or more. At this point, I do something different than most video's show. Many suggest a cream polish. I use a light coat of regular Bick 4 applied in the direction of the scales instead of cream polish. Let it dry and wipe off any excess then buff with a brush in the direction of the scales. The other things I do are: Occasionally use a light coat of Bick 4, (NOT Exotic) on the inside of the boot, to condition the leather from the inside. *** I have read that too much conditioning on the inside of a boot can cause snake scales to lift.*** I also occasionally use a light coat of mink oil on the soles to condition them and maybe give them some water resistance. I don't know if it adds any water resistance as these boots do not go outside when it's wet. But it does seem to keep the soles soft. This is a once or twice a year thing, or I go by feel. *** Mink oil will darken most materials it comes in contact with, so keep it away from your exotic skins and light colored leather. When I do my mink treatment, I only do the bottom of the soles. I use a light coat, let it soak in for awhile then wipe off the excess. So far, I've had no staining issues doing this.*** Please know the above has worked for me on these 40 or so year old boots. But, it may NOT work for you on your items. Hope this helps.

Great for Exotic skin boots. Helps preserve the skins. Must have. Highly recommend.

I really like how well this Bickmore Exotic leather spray cleans and conditions my boots. It brings out a nice, rich shine without leaving a greasy feel or darkening the leather too much. It’s easy to apply evenly, and the results look professional — my exotic leather boots look revived and supple again. The only issue is the spray nozzle. It doesn’t mist evenly and sometimes comes out in a weird, uneven stream, which makes it hard to control how much product hits one area. I ended up spraying it onto a cloth first to get around that problem, and that worked fine. Aside from the nozzle, the formula itself is excellent — it’s gentle, effective, and keeps leather looking great. If Bickmore improves the sprayer, this would be a solid 5-star product.

The Bickmore Exotic Boot Cleaner is a must-have product for anyone who loves to take care of their boots. It's a versatile cleaner that's perfect for removing tough stains, dirt, and grime from exotic leather, suede, and other materials. This product is highly effective, making it easy to clean even the dirtiest of boots. One of the great things about the Bickmore Exotic Boot Cleaner is that it's very easy to use. Simply apply a small amount of the cleaner to a soft brush, work it into the leather, and then wipe it clean. The cleaner is specially formulated to be gentle on the leather, so you don't have to worry about damaging your boots. Another benefit of this product is that it's long-lasting, so you don't have to buy it very often. It comes in a convenient 8 oz. bottle, which will last for several uses, depending on how often you use it. The Bickmore Exotic Boot Cleaner also has a pleasant, subtle scent, which is a nice touch. Unlike some other leather cleaners that have a strong, overpowering odor, this cleaner has a mild fragrance that won't overpower the natural scent of your boots. I would highly recommend the Bickmore Exotic Boot Cleaner to anyone who wants to keep their boots looking their best. Whether you're a hunter, a rancher, or simply someone who loves to take care of their footwear, this product is an excellent choice. It's effective, easy to use, and long-lasting, making it a great value for the price.

So I’ve had these Caiman boots for a few years, and the leather always felt really rough and dry. Every time I wore them, I was afraid I would scuff them and peel back scales. I regularly clean and protect my leather boots, but as this is my first pair of exotics, I’ve not really known what to do. I wanted to go to the boot store and ask them, but after a couple years of “meaning” to do it, and continually forgetting...I decided my best bet would just be to order something off Amazon that had good reviews. I will say, the most important thing I wanted was to rehydrate the leather, so it wasn’t so crinkly. This product did exactly that, 100%. I somewhat expected it to make the leather *pop* and shine up really well, but in my case, it didn’t really do that. I’ve attached before and after photos, and you should be able to tell that there’s not a whole lot of difference. But that could be a good thing too...for example it didn’t completely change the color of them or something. That, I would not have been happy about. Product is really thin, and goes on about like water. Very easy to apply. Just spray, and wipe down. I will say, during application, the product soaked into the leather where the rows of scales meet, and really darkened those lines. I was really scared I had just ruined the look of my boots, but I figured they at least needed to match, so I did the other boot too. I left them to dry for a few minutes, and it all soaked in. You can’t even tell it. This leads me to believe it is indeed a water-based product instead of an oil-based. Oil would have soaked in, and the color change would have stayed. I can’t comment on the water resistance of this product yet, as I haven’t worn them in the rain since applying. I can tell, though, that the leather is much more hydrated and healthier now, which was my entire goal.

The Bickmire Exotic recommended to me by Tecovas salesman is absolutely marvelous. It truly softens leather. I had a 30 plus year old pair of Justin’s that were stiff. This product even softened them. It can produce an amazing shine also. This product delivers what other only promises. Thank you to Tecivas salesman fir recommending.

Great product for clean and condition exotic boots/shoes
