HI,
I am wondering about proper care for hiking boots..in my case, nubbuck leather with goretex lining. I recall hearing from somewhere that snowseal would reduce the breathability (I used to use snow seal when I had all leather boots in past). I have been using just the spray on nix wax which is supposed to waterproof the boots.
So far (have had the boots a year now) all seems well but I worry about the leather drying and cracking. Also, They get pretty roughed up from the white mountain rocks.
what do you suggest to keep the boots in best shape?
