Just got my new boots yesterday from brodequin shoemakers and im dead chuffed with them they are waxy leather and will need some care tae waterproof them, so i think i need some help. they reccommend dubbin or himalayan wax. iv read that dubbin rots leather so nae too keen tae use that. so is himalayan wax any good? iv found some in a spray on ebay was wondering if anyone has experience with it?
i have a bottle of neatsfoot oil here iv heard is good but also read that it attracts bugs tae munch on the leather so again unsure!
any help would be appreciated

once im able tae get out walking more ill be writing a review on these boots as i expect them tae go all round the uk and beyond with me so we shall see. so far the service provided has been great, they were able tae provide me with a good flat sole and even sent me a small samosa coin pouch as a gift for having trouble with buckle suppliers which resulted in me just asking for a plain buckle which suits me better than a big fancy job.
