The holy grail of leather waterproofers is SNO-SEAL, but it will make your boots look shinier and darker. Reviews on waterproofing that do not change the color or feel of your boots have mixed reviews. I am trying to research the best ones and haven't really found the best one for myself, but you could check out the "Granger G-Max Footwear Universal Waterproofer" (it is on Amazon) since the reviews specifically say that it does not change the boots.
No, most of them do not come waterproofed. This is true for fashion combat boots, as well as military issued. Combat boots must be waterproofed by the owner, and the waterproofing has to be kept up. For lighter waterproofing, you can buy a spray at most stores like Target, PayLess, or Wal-Mart.
To stretch new leather boots, you can spray rubbing alcohol on the part that is tight, and then wear them for up to four hours. If boots are tight at the calf, then you may need to take them to a cobbler so he can insert a piece of leather or elastic to make them larger.
A pair of thigh high leather women's boots are available to purchase online from a variety of stores such as Boohoo, GoJane and online and in store from New Look.
eBay or Amazon would be good places to fin cheap red leather boots. High Street Stores such as New Look and Dorothy Perkins may be a bit more expensive but the quality would be increased.
It means to repair a boot by replacing soles or heels.
The best method is with duct tape, but plastic bags work in a pinch too. If you're waterproofing sandals, I'm assuming they're made of leather or some material that you don't want to get wet, in which case duct tape and plastic bags are not a good solution, since you probably want your sandals to look good. So, try a waterproofing spray, like Nikwax or mink oil. They will waterproof your sandals without changing how they look.
No. Just because it was on a magazine don't believe it.
If you are looking to a new pair of cowboy boots, some food places to look at are boots(dot)com, family footware or maybe even burlington coat factory, as all of those have a wide variety of shoe wear.
