Thread: Lowa boots waterproofing

Bought into the hunting show propaganda and bought a pair of Lowas. Very impressed with the comfort of them but i still seem to get wet feet on a rainy days hunting. Can't decide if the water is working it's way in or working it's way through the gaiters and wicking down my socks.
The leather doesn't seem to repel the water even after spraying on the fancy expensive lowa waterproofing spray.
Does everyone else use the recommend manufacturers spray?
I've used hubbards shoe grease on my bestards for years and that seemed pretty good, but lowa seem adamant that this is not recommend.
What's everyone else using? Would hate to wreck the new boots at the eye watering price if them.
