Glad to see the C&J’s being used in foul weather. I have a pair of Derwent in
Wax calf with Ridgeway soles en route. So long as they actually fit I expect to use them for awful weather. Seller says they fit like a D when marked E. We shall see. I’ve suffered about 6 years in a pair that are too tight across my foot, so it will be a welcome reprieve.

Gents,
Anyone used sno seal?

Thoughts.

Thank you,
Yes, Sno Seal saved me a pair of Loake Pimlico chukka boots, as I explained here.

After that experience, I decided to apply Sno Seal to most of my calf boots, as it proved to be a good precaution against rain and puddles. Nevertheless beware, it will darken your shoes...

Thank you,
Have used it on a pair of Thorogood boots, darkened them a LOT, but darn if it didn't waterproof the heck out of them. I used a hair dryer to heat the boots up, so the sno seal was "sucked" into the welt and seams when heat was removed. I wanted them WATERPROOF! It worked and lasted about 2 years of winter wear. Eventually, the boots were replaced with other brands, and I got rid of them at the local charity drop off store. Hopefully some person is wearing a waterproof pair of boots that they got for a buck (that's what the local Christian resale place sells footwear for).
