Waterproofing good boots?

Question

I bought a cute pair of nice fashion boots but they are not waterproof. I don't want to ruin them by walking in the rain, but will wateproofing hurt them? Do I need to do it? How? Help plz.

Answer 1

Depends. Are they suede or smooth leather? Smooth leather can be waterproofed to a degree by applying leather conditioner and oils to it: try Fiebing's Aussie leather conditioner, or Snow Seal. Both have beeswax and other oils to keep water out of the leather. This won't make them completely waterproof, but it will protect them so walking in the rain or snow won't totally destroy your boots. Kiwi Mink Oil is also a good product.

With all of these products you will have to reapply after you've gotten the boots wet. Still, they will keep the boots looking new for a long time.

Answer 2

there is a spray sold in shoe shops that is supposed to make ure shoes water-resistant
