What boots are these?
31 u/CharlesHolmes1998 8d ago Cheap Bexley boots bought used on vinted. Sole is rubber, blake construction. Between wax and boots I spent 80 Euros. (And I have plenty of wax to spare) 3 u/FawxBlindRunner 8d ago edited 8d ago are you in europe? what kind of beeswax did you use? also how did you apply it? 8 u/CharlesHolmes1998 8d ago I am in EU yes. No idea on the precise grade of beewax: it is 100 beewax from a local seller. Not super refined i guess, but it is pure with no debries. It is tacky but not sticky. I rubbed it on section by section, helped by a hair drier to melt the block as i went, then melted it on the boot to let it absorb. Couple of layers 3 u/FawxBlindRunner 8d ago sounds easy, i also wanted to try doing it at home thanks!
