boot grease recommendation?

[DougPaul]

I used sno-seal on my first ever hiking boots (1970's) untill I heard the silicone would eat the stitching. Exit sno-seal. Enter TLC for Technica Leather Conditioner which boasted an absence of Si. The boots lasted through three re-soles before wearing out at the toe.

Is sno-seal OK now?

Started using Sno-seal in the early 70s. None of my boots have rotted out so far...

FWIW--I don't warm it in. Just apply and wait overnight.

As I understand it, it is still worthwhile to seal the stitching on a Norwegean welt with a product like seam grip.

In our house there must be 10 different pairs of hiking boots and shoes. We always buy whatever the sales person says to buy for a protectant so now we have a basket full of all kinds of products from Beeswax to Nikwax. Of course I forget which product goes with which boot so now I throw on anything.

It's all about keeping the economy going. Don't know what it does for your boots...
