Hunting boots & waterproofing

**iamtommyboy** · October 21st, 2013, 04:06 PM

Rubber boots fix this real quick. That's all I wear when hunting. Keeps me covered and dry no matter what I come across.

Two words, Red Wings.

As long as the leather doesn't crack clean through, they are waterproof and don't even advertise it.

My last pair only lost waterproof-ness when I wore right through the sole!!

This is what I've used since I was a kid. Melt it in with a hair dryer. Always worked great for me. It's called Sno-Seal. I've had this one for a while, don't remember where I got it.

I've got a pair of these that I wear if I know it's going to be wet or I'm going to a place where it will be wet http://www.kamik.com/b2c_us_en/hunting/hunter-4690.html

Never used it but saw a video on it, and it looks pretty cool.

A friend said he tried the never wet & it only works for a short time & needs constant reapplication. He said it didn't even last a whole day in the field.

I wrote to Rocky & they replied:

"Hello,

Yes you can buy any type of water proof spray silicone. From any type of a large retail store would have some. We suggest that you keep up on that every 3 to 6 months. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
