Did the americans put anythink on them to stop the water coming in? Yes Rowan they soak up water like they were made of blotting paper :lol: I haven't found a definitive answer but everything points to them using both brown boot polish and dubbin. I think that Karoshi will know the answer. Cheers Degsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M8Greyhound Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Rowan use what they used M1 shoe impregnate...do an ebay search for it.I have a tin and its great stuff. Then dub it off and you have supple water repellent boots.... Regards Lloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 M1 shoe impregnate was basically.....Dubbin, so if your E-bay search is not fruitful, try a horse tack shop, or sportswear shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightweight Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Just before I go ahead and do this - could you just confirm something for me? I need to take my lovely golden coloured, brand new roughout boots, brush them all over with brown polish (turning them brown I assume)? I then coat them in Dubbin? I just want to check before I ruin a nice pair of boots! Has anyone got a piccie of a pair post-treatment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
