Dubbin is a wax product used to soften, condition and waterproof leather and other materials. It consists of natural wax, oil and tallow.
It is different from shoe polish, which is used to impart shine and colour to leather.
Dubbin has been used since medieval times to waterproof and soften leather boots.
