[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2832441, member: 15054"] Yep .. I have a problem of getting my socks and feet wet all the time. I have a cheap pair of leather steel toe work boots. First attempt was to use some Scotch Guard i have had for many years I put on 5 heavy soaking coats and it repelled the water like you would not believe. I held them under the faucet for over a minute and remove the boot and the water beaded off. Then I touched the boot where the water was running while under the water. Guess what happened.. the leather soaked in the water. I found when walking into wet grass/weeds the grass will rub on the boots much like my finger touching it.. Wet boots! Then my son got stuck in the mud and 1.5 days to get him out.. this was clay mud and we were standing up to our knees in mud in some places. My boots soaked in all that clay and are completely void of any oils or sprays now.. just clay dried boots. Cleaned and dried them and have wore them a few times since then. Now i will try some Sno-Seal on them. I have read about Never Wet,, but it does not last very long.. and really does not last long when subject to weeds and grasses rubbing and sanding on them. I will update you when we see how this Sno-Seal works. first i must get some of it. [/QUOTE]
