NOTE: These are leather lined boots and do not have a waterproof liner. Water repellancy can be improved by using Meindl Wet Proof and Sportwax. Whilst some prefer the breathability and comfort of a leather lined boot, if you need it to be waterproof please look at the Meindl Bhutan or Burma.
Sportwax is a natural product formulated to condition and proof leather. Apply it with a sponge or cloth and don’t forget the tongues of the boots. Rub the wax in well. There’s no need to heat it, as this could reduce boot breathability. Waxing changes the appearance of the leather, making it smoother and darker. Applying a little to the hooks and eyelets also protects them against corrosion.
Wetproof spray increases the water resistance of your boots and shoes. This should be applied twice a year after cleaning and prior to waxing or conditioning. It is suitable for leather, suede and fabric footwear.
