Does anyone know a good alternative to the gaearne boot paste/polish? i used gaerne in the past, just looking for something comparable and a little easier to get.

I've always had good success with "Sno-seal". You can get this at any outdoor equipment store.

Dubbin

dubbin too £2 a pot from soccer sports / sports world

i just use wd40 makes em like slippers

?.....seriously?, you spray WD 40 on your leather boots?

I use Nikwax on my waterproof road bike boots. On my trials bike boots i use Neatsfoot oil. You get it from equestrian type shops. When the boots are dry brush it on, takes a couple of minutes, let it soak in. Sorted.

I found that using anything near liquid in viscosity just made the boots too supple and they 'sagged' too readily. Neutral boot polish (Kiwi) seems to work a treat.

i will see if i can find some kiwi dubbin,,, looked at a couple places here in the US and cant find any,. Also no luck with sno-seal...i am now on a mission!

I've had good results with Wren's waterproof dubbin

jo jo wax i use on my work boots for the farm, brilliant stuff

Waterproof red grease. Rub on lightly. Wipe off. Works a treat on my Alpinestars.
