Ah shit sorry hah, sno seal, I knew it was sno something had to go back and check.

This shit.

Bake the gloves at the lowest setting for a dozen minutes or so to open them up, then lather that stuff on and keep rubbing in until nothing will go in anymore.

I skied in -10 base temps, -20 mountain not including wind chill with Kincos covered in sno seal, hands didn't get cold at all...

I'm old, and I cling firmly to the age-old adage of "Never go cheap on anything that rests between you and the earth." That includes shoes, tires and mattresses.



If you buy "Bean Boots" get the flannel/chamois lined ones at a minimum. Saving $20 for the unlined ones is a bad move.
The Thinsulate-lined ones and shearling (fur) lined ones are almost too warm for Virginia, but if you are unaccustomed to cold weather, it might not be a terrible purchase.

DO buy 3 pair of tall, thick boot socks to go with your new pair of boots, and make sure you try the boots on with the socks.

Personally, I don't care for duck boots. (any boot with the leather upper attached to a rubber bottom)
I prefer an all-leather boot for cold-weather.

Some random products:

https://www.amazon.com/Rockport-Mens-Elkhart-Snow-Boot/dp/B00F4OAMO6

https://www.amazon.com/Timberland-Chillberg-Mid-Waterproof-Insulated/dp/B0199NCPF6

https://www.amazon.com/Vasque-Snowblime-Ultradry-Insulated-Brindle/dp/B00TYJ29XE

https://www.amazon.com/Columbia-Mens-SNOWCROSS-Snow-Black/dp/B07JH35HZQ/

I prefer dark leather, so it looks like a dress shoe at first glance.

Some key features:

  1. You want to see the word(s) "Waterproof" or "Water proof".
  • Slushy melted snow loves to sneak inside non-waterproof shoes and make you walk around with soggy socks. Wet feet get really cold really quickly.
  • You don't have to see "Gore-Tex" for the boot to be waterproof.
  1. You want to see a nice, chunky tread pattern on the boot. Something that can bite into packed snow and give you traction & stability.
  • Pro-Tip: It is good manners to always stomp your boots clear just before you enter a building. Chunky treads sometimes fill with snow and carry it with you in the cleats.
  1. You want something that at least goes up over your ankles. A 6 to 8" boot is plenty. 9-12" boots are really only intended for deep woods activities.
  2. Resist the temptation to buy something with a zipper up the side, or velcro closure instead of big long laces. Laces are the way to go.

    If you apply a leather treatment to the boots at the end of every winter, before you throw them in the back of your closet, they will last 20 years or more.

    If you want to go old-school, and use something natural & traditional then:
    this or maybe this

    If you prefer to let science do the work for you then:

    this or maybe this could be the way to go.


    -----

    If money is tight, or if you are going to travel back home to Arizona after college and you'll likely never need cold-weather boots again in your life, anything $60 or so at Target or Walmart really can work just fine.

    Also, as I said before, good boots last a really long time. Weird as used shoes might be, Goodwill isn't as crazy an option as it might sound.

    -----

    Final comment on boot socks:

    Cotton and Acrylic socks are cheap and easy to find, and work adequately.
    But real wool is the warmest and toughest way to go, hands-down, and a super-soft merino wool is almost as soft as cotton.
u/BangTheDrumLoudly · 12 pointsr/DIY

Nice write up. I don't have a heat gun so I used this stuff for years. Just turn your oven on low 250 degrees and get your boots warm. Put this stuff on 'em while they're warm and it melts perfectly. Just buff and your waterproof. http://www.amazon.com/Atsko-Sno-Seal-1330-Atsko%C2%A0Sno-Seal%C2%A0Original-Waterproofing%C2%A07-Ounce/dp/B00CQJDQ90/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1453866239&sr=8-2&keywords=leather+wax

Also, be sure to use Sno-Seal so they don't get wet.

I drew patterns and stuff on mine with a Sharpie then put the Sno-Seal on after.

u/_macon · 7 pointsr/skiing

Get some insulated leather gloves/mitts and coat them with SnoSeal.

Kinco makes good ones that are really cheap. Flylow makes a similar style that comes pre-coated. I have a pair of BlackDiamond spark gloves I got on sale.

Just know that whatever brand you get you'll eventually have to reseal them with SnoSeal cause it doesn't last forever.

To understand what shoe care needs: Shoe Care Guide

To clean leather products: Saddle Soap

To condition leather products: Venetian Shoe cream (VSC) or Saphir Renovateur or [Allen Edmonds Leather Lotion] (http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/cati2_ShoeCareProductss_1_40000000001_-1________subcategory#facet=&sId=216&sort=5&ps=1000&bi=0)

To "protect" leather you have 2 options:

  1. "Light" protection (Not permanent) - Mink oil. (WILL DARKEN LEATHER!! - Not recommended on light leathers / dress shoes)

  2. "Heavy-duty" protection - Obenauf's or Sno Seal

    If you're walking around in snow / rain with dress shoes: Galoshes/ Overshoes



    And being more specific helps. If you live in warmer climates, Mink oil and Obenauf's are most likely unnecessary, and products like VSC and Saphir would be great.

    Avoid products from DSW and most B&M stores (unless well reviewed and recommended!) and the likes as they aren't great in quality (personal experience) - and if you're spending hundreds on shoes, consider spending a few dollars more to taking care of them goes far.
u/surprisinglyminty · 5 pointsr/frugalmalefashion

gone are the days of payless.

If you're walking that much, on a budget, I'd enjoy seeing how much wear and tear you'd put on a some Chippewa Boots or Chippewa Apache The vibram sole lugged or sans lugged should do wonders in regards to comfort and durability.

with the 20% off $100+ Amazon Coupon and it's a solid frugal purchase. Code SPSHOEI4 at checkout may work as well for 20% off.

Throw some sno-seal or Obenauf's and you're set for most all terrains.

u/olorwen · 3 pointsr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Things like Sno-Seal will waterproof them, as long as you follow their directions for when to reapply. You can also use a leather protecting spray like this. I personally prefer Sno-Seal because I have a better idea of what's in it (beeswax, mostly).

Otherwise, regular cleaning and conditioning (whenever the leather feels dry, looks light, gets dirty, or every few months) should work out well!

u/ArgoNunya · 3 pointsr/BuyItForLife

I can't really recommend a boot in particular on a BIFL basis, but any leather boot can be made waterproof with a bit of good 'ol snoseal. So you probably don't need to stress too much about the water proofness.

Also, for what it's worth, I really like my chippewa boots, but haven't had them long enough to claim BIFL. They do seem well made and will probably last a long time. Taking regular care (cleaning, re-waxing, maybe a shoe-tree) can help increase the longevity a bit.

u/xlaevis · 3 pointsr/skiing

These after applying some of this. Cheap, and it's what a lot of the on mountain staff use every day of the season.

u/Goldenrod42 · 2 pointsr/DIY

Beeswax may be expensive so try to find a local source.

Sno-seal is a beeswax product but I'm not sure if it's okay to be used on cloth.

u/rwesswein · 2 pointsr/NavyBlazer

This. I own the Clark's desert boot, and I put a layer of this Sno-Seal on it.

u/rem87062597 · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

I've only had them for about a month (with about 3 to 4 miles of walking per day) but here are my Clarks Bushacre II's that I treated with Sno-Seal. Now on top of being waterproof it darkened the color and I think changed them for the better. Much less rat-nose like and more nice looking leather.

u/moondoggydogg · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

For $3 you can buy some Sno Seal on amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Sno-Seal-oz-200-gram-Waterproofing/dp/B00CQJDQ90/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380702026&sr=8-1&keywords=snow+seal

It's great for the area around the welt of your leather boots (assuming you have some) to ensure that water doesn't penetrate into your boots.

u/mtthwmtthw · 1 pointr/frugalmalefashion

I've found it at this local Army Navy shop up the road from me. Got the 7oz can for $8. Don't know of any big retailers that carry it (haven't really looked) but you can get shipped from (Amazon)[http://www.amazon.com/Sno-Seal-oz-200-gram-Waterproofing/dp/B00CQJDQ90/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382912999&sr=8-1&keywords=sno+seal] for just about the same price.

u/psm510 · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

Should i get Sno-Seal, L.L.Bean Boot Guard, or some other type of snow protection product for my Bean Boots? Do i apply it everywhere? or just to the leather part?

Thanks for the help!

u/ag11600 · 1 pointr/skiing

Alright, cool. I'd probably use sno-seal.

u/Finnrick · 1 pointr/FigureSkating

I've used SnoSeal on my skates for the last 20+ years. Super easy, all I need is a hair dryer. I seal my skates every 3-4 months when I have ice. I haven't noticed if there's a better time to seal skates or not. I know that people who use the enamel type seals can have trouble if the humidity is too high/low.

Do your skates come with any recommendations for sealant? Follow manufacturer's instructions.

u/LandlockedPirate · 1 pointr/skiing

Kinko + Sno-seal.

If you want to spend slightly more then flylow.

u/TheGloriousLurker · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

Something like this?

u/Bojaxx · 1 pointr/Leathercraft

What finishes have you tried, that didn't work out so well? I personally use a product called sno seal to waterproof my stuff, haven't had any issues with it. Other than needing a fresh coat maybe once or twice a year. It's made a waterproofer for leather work boots. But it's mainly beeswax so it'll work on just about anything, and gives a nice luster. Might be worth a shot.

u/moorawr · 1 pointr/AutoDetailing

Sno Seal is also a great and economical way to waterproof your boots. They'll definitely darken the leather too.
