I recently bought a pair of the Danner snake boots and I want to take care of them. What do you use on your boots to keep them waterproof and to keep them from cracking? I know that someone mentioned Obenauff's leather protector a while ago. What do you use and how often do you use it. The only thing I have ever used is mink oil.

I slather mink oil on mine and then heat it up with my wifes hair dryer .You can see it liquify when you get the dryer close enough to it.That allows it to permeate the leather.When it cools just wipe off the excess with a paper towel.Works great on saddles too.

I do the mink oil but I put them in the oven at a low temp to make it absorb.

I use mink oil. I have never heated the boots though. I will try that next time.

I use mink oil regularly too. Never have heated my boots like that though. Might try it.

I've always used Sno Proof and heat it in with a hair dryer. Main thing is to use something made for leather boots.

Atsko Sno-Seal. Superior to mink oil.

Use a blow dryer to warm them up .

X2 on snoseal. It's good stuff and all I've ever used. Put in oven on 150 for about 5 minutes

I've used SnoSeal. I always heated the boots with a hair dryer, prior to application.
