One of the best things you can do to protect those work boots is to waterproof them. To do this, you would need beeswax.
There are lots of brands to choose from but what real cowboys use it Skidmoor’s since it is a great beeswax product. When you buy the said item, it will be too hard to apply it on your boots that is why it is recommended to put the whole can in the microwave and heat it up for about 3 seconds.
Applying the semi-melted beeswax on our boots will protect the leather from the elements most especially water. You would need to apply it in your seams.
There is no need for you to apply it on the whole boot, just target the areas that will touch water. After applying beeswax make sure to wipe off the excess. Once the wax is wiped off, you already have waterproof boots that will repel water and prevent rotting.
After applying beeswax, you can rub a water and stain repellant to weatherproof your pair of cowboy boots.
