I have a first generation (2006) Waterford Homer (the poem era). I believe that a characteristic of these first Homers is the lack of a kickstand plate. I'm not sure exactly when the plate was added, but it was soon thereafter. I hope I'm not wrong. --Andy C. On Monday, October 7,

I agree that Obenauf's works great on hiking boots and the like. On my regular shoes, however, it proved to be a little trickier. Because of the seams on the shoes, it was difficult to wipe off all of the residue that wasn't fully absorbed by the leather. Though the shoes didn't feel sticky, th
