Waterproofing my boots

[Beto]

Hi all, I wanted to see which products function best for waterproofing my leather hunting boots. I am going to hunt on a wet environment (Quebec Northern territories in Sept)

Any products out there that you guys have tested and perform well?

Thanks for the input

I like Sno Seal and use it on all my leather items. Having said that, my boots are GoreTex lined and waterproof anyway.

Pecard shoe oil.

I have used the Redwing boot oil for years, it is easy to apply and get in around the stitching.  I worked in wet conditions and this made my boots last a long time, and completely waterproof

I love Montana Pitch Blend and Obenauf's. They both work great on my leather hunting boots.

sno seal, and put them on a boot dryer so it absorbs. repeat a couple times if you can, so the leather is saturated.

Thanks all for the alternatives...now I just need to decide on one! Lol

I've used both Montana Pitch Blend (most recently) and Sno Seal.  They both will work, to some extent, and each has it's advocates.

I like the stuff Scott Teaschner sells - think it is called Dri-Boot.  Got to heat it up some and work it in, but it works.

I've used a couple of things over the years, and have found Mink Oil to be my favourite.  Snow Seal is great too, but with the mink oil I find if you warm up your boots or anything leather, it really sinks in. I usually have to apply it 2 to 3 times before it stops being absorbed readily.

snow seal and mink oil I use both. I put a layer of the snow prof on and rub in. I let them dry over a few days and then put a 2nd coat of the mink oil in as well. I have some boots that still look good after a doz years.

Toilet bowl gasket wax for me. It lasts longer than anything else
I have tried.

Mink oil, coon fat, bear fat, beaver fat.....

Thanks all for the input. I greatly appreciate it.

Be carefull not to destroy the breathability of the boot in the atempt to waterproof.

[Beto]

I will, thanks.
I do have mink oil in my house, so will try that first and then other alternatives depending on performance! thanks.

Mink oil and than use your wife's blow dryer and melt it in works awesome

Sno seal for me and as mentioned above, I heat it up after applying to help it absorb in.
