werbad 43 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Can anyone help me with my problem, I got myself a pair about 6 months because they say that they are waterproof, I thought grate for the mornings when dew is on the ground how wrong was I ever time I go out in them both my foot get wet as if I've got trainers on. Has anyone had the same problem? Quote Link to post
werbad 43 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I got on to Jack Pyke and told them about it, even tho they were helpful I can't do anything with out proof of purchase which I don't have. So what I'm asking is there anything that I can use to make them waterproof Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 The one thing i've learned since moving to the countryside 6 years ago is that leather boots, no matter how good, will seriously feck up day in day out in wet weather.... Save the good boots for the propper days and bone dry days and for everything else, wear wellies!! Quote Link to post
