Waterproof Leather Boots are a truly amazing product.  Waterproof leather boots are silicone tanned to meet all specs and flex ratings only then they can be considered a true waterproof leather boot.  When fully waterproofed, even under the most adverse wet conditions it exhibits very low water absorption.

Treated on occasion with liquid silicone and silicone boot polish, your boot will remain soft and supple, breathable and waterproof.  Waterproof Leather is considered to be one of the most popular for mountain boots, combat boots, work boots, riding boots, and extreme duty bird shooting boots because of its incredible waterproof ness.

It must be remembered that saturated leather draws heat away from the foot, making you susceptible to chilling and frostbite. Worse, it renders the boot non-breathable. You must treat your boots, even those that are factory waterproofed, periodically to maintain the water repellency.

Waterproof / Breathable Linings

• Many waterproof boots are sold with a Gore-Tex® or other waterproof-breathable membrane lining.
• The Gore Company recommends that you treat the leather to keep it water resistant, but make sure to use a product that also offers breathability.
• Completely impermeable sealants and coatings cancel out the dry, breathability of these linings.
• Oils, polish, silicone or other treatments should not harm the membrane if they come in contact.
