Leather Boots - Waterproofer.

[alanfavell]

For winter dry feet & 100s of motorway miles I've never had any leather kit that was waterproof for more than a little drizzle unless it had a built in goretex liner (SIDI)..............sooo

 

If doing lots o miles day in day out  - Replace with wellies = cheaper than leather waterproofer (aka snake oil Mk2 right up there with ciggies buy it , make it disappear and buy some more..now where's that pot of manufactures glee.........). 

 

Buy goretex boot liners but wellies are even cheaper

 

Buy Goretex boots (not shite Dainese colanders tho = my EU summer boots) wellies are cheaper

 

Don't buy rigger wellies/safety wellies buy cheap cheap wellies available in a range of colours including manly black........wellies, like waterlogged leather boots, are not warm, so spend some of the savings on cashmere socks mmm toastie got mine on right now.......
