I got a new pair of chippawa hunting boots. They let the water in in the dewy grass. Then we bayed 2 hogs in the middle of a 15 AC tank. They got really wet. So my question is what does everyone use to waterproof. What is the best stuff

Anything that will absorb into the leather, but not harm it, but yet repels water.

yep if their leather mink oil and if they're cordura or something you have to spray them with a suitable water repelant but I've never had much luck with it .

I like my hunting boots to have holes to drain the water. I ain't one to worry about water in the boots until they are full of water so I like them to drain. I like mink oil to protect leather from water. I have seen that stuff they call never wet or something but have not tried it.

I read the other day that WD-40 would work. Mink Oil will not work long term. Probably you will wind up buying another set of boots.

wd-40 will evaporate faster than mink oil will rub off. I use turbine engine oil on my boots and reapply with just normal wear every 4-5 months, but if I have been in mud and have to wash numerous times, I reapply every 2 months. thin 5w motor oil will work better and longer than wd-40

I have used neets foot oil. It works ok I guess. I use lacrosse alpha sports if water is gonna be an issue. If not I wear my old trusty lacrosse work boots. They are waterproof as well.
