For those of you that don't wear rubber boots in the spring, what are your favorite methods for conditioning your boots to keep them water proof!

I own the Irish setter vaprtrak snake boots.

Are you willing to step out of the boat as Peter did?  Think about it, he wouldn't have walked on water without stepping out of the boat!

I cake on the sno-seal, and then I spray on silicon water-guard.  It works for a while.

Still using good old fashioned Mink Oil the way my daddy did, never had a leak yet. Buying quality boots really makes a difference too.

I clean mine up real good with saddle soap and let them dry for a day or 2. Then I glob on sno seal. Especially on the stitching and leave in my hot car in summer and let it "melt" into the leather. Take them out and buff. Usually lasts a year and I do it again

Same here but I use a hand held hair dryer to melt the snow seal.

I figured the boots that you bought would have been waterproof from start. I have had good luck with gortex boots keeping my feet dry. I figured the Irish setters would be in that category also. I have never used sno seal but that's the one I see the most at the stores around here.Hope you find something that works for you

Obenauf's. Developed by an Idaho wildland  firefighter. It's beeswax/propolis base; no petroleum. If you use those same turkey hunting boots for deer/elk hunting stay away from petroleum based boot conditioners. Elk and deer will scent you every time.

I would consider them resistant, not waterproof. Just looking for something yearly to treat with to enhance waterproofing properties.

I've had good results with O'Benauf's also.

You know if sno seal has petroleum? Says bees wax but doesn't specify ingredients
