One thing about beeswax is if you wear your boots in summer, the wax draws bees. Fact. Lemon scented anything does the same thing.
Neatsfoot oil keeps your boots supple, but I don't know how it would work with Gortex. It's basically Cologen in a liquid form, comes from the joints of "neat" cattle, meaning cows as opposed to the ancient term "cattle" which meant livestock.
