Re: Boots.

Bought some Englebert Strauss water proof boots about a month ago. Fed up of buying cheap hitec so called waterproof boots that last only a few months. I must say that these boots are superb - no laces just a dial you twist and it just pulls the hole shoe nice and tight. Soooo comfortable too. My feet feel better and in better condition as well cos I've not had a drop of damp in my boots yet. Very grippy too. Bit pricey but worth the extra. Just hope they last.spent £120 on 2 pairs of cheap boots that let in water within a few months.

I bought a pair of these 3 winters ago and never once had wet feet.  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blackrock-Leather-Safety-Chukka-Midsole/dp/B003JNE8T4/ref=sr_1_7?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1383425238&sr=1-7&keywords=work+boots+men

What you have to do is buy a tin of nickwax or G.wax from an outdoor shop, smear the wax all over the leather like butter, then use a heat gun or hairdryer on a low setting to melt the wax into the leather. One treatment lasts a whole winter. These boots are really hard waring, comfortable to wear, and as cheap as chips.
Never once in 3 years have I had wet feet when waring these boots. Like many others I wear trecking trainers for the summer, had wet feet with them many times.

I made a similar topic recently have the same problem I'm gona go with your Recomendation , can you send us a link to the exact wax you got?
