Is this good if your objective is waterproofing ? (western cowboy boots) I was also looking at Chamberlains Water Protectant

The answer isn't as simple as yes or no. This product will help with keeping your boots water resistant. Meaning if you walk through the rain you will be fine, but it will not keep your feet dry if you walk through a stream or river. The point of the conditioner is to make your leather still breathable and flexible while adding a layer of protection. They claim that other water proofer's will not allow leather to breathe making your feet warmer if you wear the boots in the summer. I've used both waterproofer and conditioner before and each has it's own place, but this product has kept my good western boots in great shape for about a year now.

There is no way to truly water proof your boots, other than dipping them in industrial-grade rubber.This oil is for conditioning leather- to add moister to a non-synthetic product, giving it a longer life. It's not meant to seal.

Leather Honey does not waterproof -- it is water repellent. We recommend against water proofing because that clogs the leather's pores and leather needs to breathe. For most of our customers, the water repellent properties of Leather Honey are more than sufficient.

I would not trust it to be waterproof. I would try a store like REI for waterproof spray

I doubt if anyone knows the answer. Best stuff in 50 years for boots, but I know of no one who has used it on fine shoes. Suggest you email them at https://www.obenaufs.com/index.php?route=information/contact

I used it on my wives boots and it worked fine. I also used it on my work boots and it did not work well. I would stick to using this on tennis shoes or boots like you mentioned.

Yea! Gore tex is usually attached under the leather of a boot. Which makes the boot water proof for your feet, but the leather will still take on water. If you spray this on leather it will protect/waterproof the leather as well.

I use it for ski boots. Normally I take my liner's out of the boot to dry. This is recommended but it should work, but slower, if you don't. I love it.

I used it on Minnetonka boots and they are now waterproof and look great, so yes.

These boots definitely kept the water out for my purposes ( tide pooling on the rocky Northern California Coast). I had my doubts, but the combo of these boots plus some wool nearly-knee high socks, kept my normally cold feet warm and dry. One thing that I avoided was trying to enter pools of water that were taller than the boots. After adjusting/tightening the boots, I made sure the tallest body of water I entered was approximately the same height as the boots. I didn't have a problem with keeping dry because I kept that in mind. Hope that helps. Good luck in your adventures!

Yes, I think so. I have only used it for a few weeks now but so far my boots are water-damage free. However, this does not protect from salt buildup so be careful!

I wear these everyday in my boots and have not had an issue with dampness. I believe the term you're looking for is moisture wicking. Your socks, foot characteristics, and shoe material will also play a role in transferring moisture.

Its made of leather, so if it exposed to too much water it will ruin it. If you want it outside I would get water proof spray online. And watch a video of how to apply it to leather.

It will definitely work. Since the Rohnan boot is full grain smooth leather, sno seal will work perfectly. Just note that sno seal will definitely darken the boots' color, unless it is black to begin with. One downside of sno seal is that after application, the surface of the leather becomes slightly tacky/sticky, which attracts dust and dirt. Other than that, sno seal really does waterproof boots and shoes. Just make sure you work sno seal into any seams and stitch work. And make sure to heat the boots and/or the sno seal to melt the wax into the leather.

I wouldn't have blind faith that you were completely safe as they are not intended for this purpose. That being said, the multiple layers of chainsaw protection and steel toe would certainly give you a better chance than a regular rubber boot. Are you looking for a chainsaw boot in particular? Or just a rubber boot with a better chance of stopping a snake bite? If you haven't already, I'd recommend looking into the snake proof boots on the market, I don't have a need but have seen many different models that look pretty cool.

I have used SnoSeal on water proof boots with very good results. They were leather not nubuck/suede.SnoSeal is also a leather conditioner.

Saddlesoap is a cleaner and conditioner and I would not think this would waterproof anything.

Disclosure: I work for a competing brand of shoe care. I am responding to your question because I have a different opinion to that given in the previous response to your question. When your shoe, boot and/or garment has a high tech, air permeable membrane like Gore-Tex it is not a good idea to use anything with silicone because the silicone clogs the pores of the leather, fabric, and anything it is applied to. When you clog these pores anywhere you mess up the whole air permeable system that includes all layers: leather, lining, socks, clothing, etc. Shoe care needs to work with the system too: waterproofers, polishes, anything else that coats surfaces has to allow air to circulate.

Sloggers are also waterproof - the sole is much better, I had a pair of muck boots and the tread wore out in a year so they became very slippery to walk in especially on a slope - Sloggers are 1/2 the price and I find that I like them much better than the muck boot product - Hope this helps you make your decision
