How to Protect Leather Shoes From Water Damage

Leather boots are a definite wardrobe staple in the winter and fall months. But wearing them in snowy or rainy weather can be dangerous. Leather can get spotted and even shrink. But a simple solution added to the leather can make the leather waterproof. This solution is made of a type of wax that, when absorbed into the leather, protects it from water damage. It is fairly inexpensive and easy to apply.

Instructions

1

Spread paper towels across your work surface. Work somewhere that you can leave the boots for a few hours after you are done with them.

2

Open the Sno-Seal. Use a paper towel to scoop up some of the solution and begin spreading a thin layer across the leather.

3

Rub the snow seal into the leather of the boots, making sure it is applied evenly without any globs or missed spots.

4

Aim a hair dryer at the leather to melt the solution. It will turn to a liquid and slowly absorb.

5

Leave the boots to dry for a few hours before wearing them.
