-Every stitch can allow water, try and buy boots with a one piece lower and dubbin the stitches

-Synthetic materials on boots normally allow water through, are the darker areas Leather or Synthetic?
-Water can get in the interface between the leather and the sole, more Dubbin
Either buy lots of wax(dubbin) and put on heaps when the boots are dry (or been in the oven for 30 minutes at 45-50 degrees) or, buy a better waterproof design and put on heap of wax. Do the wax thing monthly or even more often.
