I use NikWax.
I'm one of those guys that believes animal fat kept the cow weather proof before it died so I use animal fat to keep it weather proof after. I use mink oil, but it does require frequent application to work well.Whatcha guys using for waterproofing goop now a days?
I have never been happy with "Snow Seal" and those Nicwax products always seemed too expensive...
Thanks in advance,

I used to use silicon liquid from the can .. was issued... and caused the boots to rot/crack as well as the eyelets to pull out. I avoid it now. Mink oil seems to soften the leather too much causes it to stretch so I avoid it as well. Have been using the Danner labeled stuff in small jars and it seems to work ok. Have read in other places that the Obenauf's is good but haven't found any locally...when I do I will try it.
NikWax gets a lot of recommendations as well.
Obenauf's is great stuff! I never liked mink oil/snowseal. This stuff is da bomb.

I see that now (I am in Canada) I will give it a try. It looks like they have both Silicon (which I don't want) and their proprietary "LP" which contains "no harmful silicons" ... I think I will order some of that...btw .. how is it on the leather seats? Has anyone tried that application I wonder?Where are you located? They'll ship it to you, too.
I think it's time I ordered the "institutional package"......

That should last me the next 15 years or so.....

I put 2 coats on my Vasque this weekend. Sure darkened up the leather. We'll see how it helps the dry / cracking condition is some spots and its supposed to rain today.
If you do your best to keep your boots dry, your feet will stay dry with them...
