Default Alternative to dubbin for waterproofing boots? [OT]

Following up to Bill :

It's wet weather again!

Normally I use dubbin to waterproof my leather boots. But dubbin leaves
a sticky gunky layer and it takes days to be fully absorbed.

Are there any modern, nicer-to-use compounds than dubbin which I can put
on boot leather that will PROPERLY waterproof them?

The boots are for general/leisure use.



Nikwax or if that's too thick, try Nikoil.
