Default Alternative to dubbin for waterproofing boots? [OT]

I've always used dubbin on my leather bike saddles. Both on top

Alternatively you can but Brooks Proofide for around £4 a tin.


I use Proofide: much more benign to apply than dubbin. However, a
saddle has a rather different job to a boot, and on boots I use Nikwax.
