Thread: What’s the best waterproof product for lowa boots

If you render down Deer Fat in a tin can over a primus,its as good as anything else.
I was put onto this when I worked in BC 20 years ago.Its best to do it outside and any other fat might be just as good I dont know.
Hubards shoe grease is good,all anything does is block the pores in the leather.

Another thing is to treat your boots when they are completely dry.Take the inner soles out,set your oven to 60 deg C,chuck your dry boots in and keep them in there untill it reaches 60deg.Whip them out,coat liberally with your leather treatment of choice,chuck them back in and turn off the oven.leave untill morning

Warming the boots opens the leather pores and pushes out any old leather treatment,the pores close again full of treatment and away you go.
