Thanks. I'm glad to know that waterproofing spray really works. I saw one pair of great boots online that look very warm but are not waterproof -- but have leather uppers. I thought about buying them and spraying them but I have never tried waterproofing spray before.
It's been funny but frustrating reading the reviews and Q&A about various boots online -- one reviewer will say one style is waterproof; the next reviewer will say the same style is not. Sigh.
And because we are discussing waterproof boots, and in honor of your name, one of my favorite poems --
Hi
@SaskiaKC
I use a waterproof spray as well.
For shoes and boots. Also for coats and jackets and hats.
I've also used the same waterproof spray on some very old parasols in my garden (over 20 years old, they were already here when I moved here) because in the summer I like to paint in the garden and it made them waterproof so I could continue to paint outside in light summer rain. It worked well.
So, I am guessing if you really fancied some boots that some reviewers said waterproof and other reviewers said the same were not, then there is a good chance the waterproof spray on them would also work well.
I also use waterproof spray on a couple of knitted jumpers that I just wear for outside the house (not jumpers that are frequently washed) for on days when I don't want a heavier jacket.
I have used waterproof spray since the 1970's. I saw it in a camping shop. It was called Ducksback then.
More recently (last 10 years) I got waterproof spray from Lidl. It was cheap, worked for me. But then I didn’t see it any more. So then I went to a horse supplies place (which provides everything, apart from the horse!), and they sell a big range of waterproof sprays apparently for different purposes, for different fabrics and materials. But they do cost more than the all purpose Lidl waterproof spray!!!!
