I have a pair of Ariat Terrains that I love, but now after several months they get soaked through easily. Saddle soap and Nikwax Waterproofing Wax work reasonably well -- meaning for a couple of hours, or less. Any other suggestions? I will order another pair of Terrains if need be but the soles on these are still in such good shape.

i use Camp Dry spray. I think Kiwi makes it. I don't think ANYTHING makes a non-waterproof item actually waterproof, but Camp Dry seems to work pretty well. You can get it just about anywhere--got mine at Walmart.

I use some bees wax stuff. Its all in german so you cant read it, but its in a orange tub. I have used it for years (we have had the same tub for 10+years) It lasts a while. It work really well, and conditions well too!

AND IT SMELLS GOOD!!!!!

I haven't tried it on smooth leather yet (though it says it will work), but Leather Therapy's spray-on waterproofer is Da Bomb on my various suede boots/shoes. It works WAY better than any of the other spray/wipe-on products I've used (and I've pretty much used all of 'em ).

Mink Oil is the old standard for duty boots.

NikWax is supposedly fabulous.

Thanks all. I ordered both beeswax and Camp Dry, since silicon is good for waterproofing laces.

Ko-cho-line.

Excellent leather conditioner, preserver and waterproofer. Good for all uses.

I have used SnoSeal and really liked the results too.

I used to use mink oil on my fireline boots, did the job well.

My dad has used some stuff call Pecards. He swears by it. It only works on smooth leather. I don't know where he got it. It has a picture of a duck on the can.

I got something from the MD Horseworld Expo one year but never really put it to the test. They swore by it of course, it was from Australia and I don't remember the name. I'll look for it tomorrow in the day light.

That would be Pecards Mallard Wax. Works great too. I waterproofed my paddock boots with it over a month ago and they still shed water and keep my feet toasty dry. Just make sure you warm it thoroughly before applying otherwise you end up with a white waxy mess.

I'd second Kementari on Leather Therapy Water Repellant. We had a lot of snow last winter & my suede yard boots were soaking through until I used this stuff. In fact I must proof all my shoes before winter sets in with it!
