Waterproofing help


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys can anyone offer me some help and advice please regarding waterproofing my boots?

 

I have a pair of leather boots (can't remember the make) which are about 12 months old and have suffered a bit of scuffing to the front toe area and consequently now leaking.

I would probably say that they are allowing water and damp to seep through the leather resulting in cold wet feet...

 

What does everybody use to waterproof or re-waterproof their boots?

Also what is the best way to put some colour back into the scuffed area?

 

What i have tried so far is plenty of dubbing, wax polish and i have just tried applying some bees wax (only did them tonight so haven't been able to try them out yet)

I also saw a video on youtube that suggested applying the wax or dubbing liberally then heating with a hair dryer or the like so that the paws of the leather open and draw in the wax into the leather.

 

Any help or advice is much appreciated
