Hi all,
Swmbo has just treated me to a new pair of boots as an early Xmas pressy due to my old ones holding in more water than they keep out.
They are not really bushcrafty being brown leather timberland Chelsea style boots, but are marketed as waterproof.
I can't find anything in the included literature to say they are gortex lined and my experience with leather boots is limited except for regular fashion type things as my bushcraft boots tend to be synthetic.
Anyhow my question is what is the best thing to treat "waterproof" leather boots with periodically to maintain their waterproofness.
Am I looking at simple polish, a good leather treatment Iike saddle balm etc... or something more technical like Nikwax?
Cheers, Hamster
