As someone else pointed out NIKWAX

When I had new Army boots ... Liquid NIKWAX first, helped them break-in,
they plain Nikwax .......... helps if boots are warm (put them in airing
cupboard or similar) then rub NIKWAK in with the fingers.
Heat and pressure will work it in ....


Just remembered the other product I used for some time on Army boots ...
Mink Oil ..... only ever had it when I could get it is US PX stores.
Seemed to be a great product .. really soaked in.
