Waterproofing leather boots and shoes

convert · 2010-11-28 13:24:35

Just wondering if anybody could recommend a product for waterproofing leather boots and shoes? Normally I'd use the same product as I use on saddlery and leather riding boots, but it tends to leave them slightly dull, which isn't really ideal for fashion boots.

I think Clarks do a spray that repels water. If its Clarks as well i imagine it should be suitable for fashion shoes. I have to get some myself this week with all the snow!

Thanks for that. I'll take a look there when I manage to get out with the snow and frost! Don't suppose you know a rough price for it?

They sell it in barratts too. It's called waxed and oiled spray. It'll keep them waterproof but stop them getting scratched and marked too. It's €5.50 as far as I remember but you'll probably only ever need to buy one can, it's massive.
