I've noticed that my Lake boots aren't as waterproof as they used to be. Since it's actually cold and snowy, I'd like to start using them again. What are people using for waterproofing treatments on theirs? I've been told that Sno-Seal is good stuff as the beeswax doesn't harm the leather. Comments?

Sno-Seal is great for waterproofing all leathers. The traditional treatment is mink oil. I have some non-Snow-Seal beeswax you can try if you're going to be in MPLS soon.

You just want that beer I owe you.

Thanks for the tip, I've some Sno-Seal laying around for my other boots so I should be set.
