In October I stopped in Schnees in Bozeman while on a fishing trip. I purchase a pair of Lowa Tibet hiking boots I have had my eye on for some time.
At the cash register the salesman asked if I had a good leather treatment to use and I indicated I had Nikwax leather waterproofing. His comment was great and that it would work wonderfully, or something to that effect.
As someone else mentioned earlier, it is my understanding that some of the treatments will soften leather to a point that the support the boot was suppose to provide will be lost.
A hiking boot used in the sheep mountains may need a different treatment than something used in a Michigan swamp while hunting whitetails.
