A perfect example would be any of the Red Wing Classic Moc models available at Corbeto’s Boots.

Products that help make your leather footwear waterproof

Not all leather boots are water resistant, unless they were previously treated during the tanning; if not, water soakes up into leather, penetrating inside the fibers. Luckily, there are many specific products for nourishing and make leather waterproof, like our Combi Care special spray for all kind of leathers. This professional footwear cleaning article available at Corbeto’s is made by Shoeboy’s, a German top brand company in its market sector.

This spray create an invisible protective layer to keep your boots intact from the rain and nourishing them at the same time. Also it works with your leather and suede jackets or purses. Just, before applying the product, brush your boots or garment, to remove the dirt and dust. Then pulverize the product at a distance of 30 centimeters, wetting out the leather a little bit.

 

Another option we suggest to get this protective layer on your boots is using this Mayura’s neutral wax jar. Also named ‘horse grease’, although being nowadays a synthetic cream, is still a good old way to easily take care of your footwear in matt, shiny and tanned leathers, thanks to its oily texture. Before applying a small quantity of wax, moistening for example a thick sponge, clean your shoes or boots with a dry cloth. After this, extend consistent and carefully the horse grease over the leather.

 

Remember: at Corbeto’s, apart from boots and western fashion products, we have a exclusive shoe care section. Because our boots can even last for a longer time if you take care of them, having the chance of enjoying your boots while doing this little effort, being rewarded by keeping their best look for years and years. Counting as well all these rainy days they had to do their job.
