Title: boots

hey...

I just bought some alpinestars leather boots, and I was wondering what peopel use to treat their boots for waterproof and general upkeep?

alright fine a serious post: any waterproof-ing product that works with leather should be fine, doesn't matter which they all serve the same purpose imo.

I use chlesa leather food on my leather goods, supposed to be better than mink oil as it doesn't eat the glue in boots.  I've used that stuff on soccer cleats for a long time and it works great at preventing dry rot and keeping leather goods soft.  Don't know how well it does with water proofing.
