Recommended use of Silicone Spray, AquaSeal, Mink oil or boot oil on your water-resistant footwear to keep them in top-shape longer.

Guaranteed Waterproof Liner: A waterproof and breathable booty (membrane) is inside the upper of the boot just behind the leather. The holes in the booty (membrane) are so small that sweat vapor can pass out, but a water molecule cannot pass in. There are 9 billion holes in every one square inch of the booty.

Working Person’s Store does not recommend any products like mink oil or SnowSeal. The leather used with these booties must possess breathability so the bootie can perform (breathe). Paste products may clog the leather’s pores, causing the leather to not breathe sufficiently. This can increase foot temperature and/or cause your feet to get excessively sweaty. Also, using paste products on boots that have waterproof booties voids the waterproof guarantee. Many times people think that their work boots with waterproof liners are leaking when, in fact, their feet feel wet due to perspiration.
