tt5th Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I use Altberg Leder-Gris on mine and it works a treat. Give Altberg a ring to mail order it as you don't see it about much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbalanced Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Second vote for Nikwax, great stuff. Easy to put on and works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggle Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Third vote, Nikwax................ just make sure that you spend time rubbing the Wax into the Leather with your fingers and not just smear it on. Also, remember to pay particular attention to all the seams and Stitchwork as this is where the Boots will fail, plus the more often you do this ( Particularly when boots are getting wet a lot ) the longer your Boots will last and stay waterproof !

b40rt Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Most of these treatments work best when your boots are still damp, stuff them with paper, treatment on, leave and the treatment is drawn through. Job done. ( for this week anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
