[QUOTE="Surveyor1653, post: 2832549, member: 5197"] Waterproofing is not a set it and forget it affair. This is actually a three-stage process. You have to clean the boot, condition the leather, and then waterproof it. There are loads and loads of products out there but Nikwax and Sno-Seal are great. Bear in mind that the process has to be continually repeated. Once you've conditioned and waterproofed the boots, you won't need to do that every time but you'll absolutely have to clean them to some degree after every use. How dirty you get them and how often will determine how often you will need to recondition and reseal them. We're talking gear maintenance here. Think of it that way and you'll be in good shape. Remember this, though: "Leather is only waterproof when it's on the ass of a cow." - Unknown General Officer during trials for a waterproof field boot [/QUOTE]
