Ive always used snowseal with good results but after seeing this thread I might try something else for my lowas.

Lowa Tibet GTX material?

Hey so I am looking at buying some wax/waterproof products and I am wondering if the boots are made out of leather or Nubuck?? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use nothing but the Kennetrek boot wax on my Lowa's and Zamberlain's. Some waterproofing will destroy the glue on the boot rands and the rands separate from the boot. Kennetrek doesn't. I can normally find it for around $15 a jar. I put it on my boots after the season and right before the season starts then, as needed.

I put Snowseal on my cheaper boots fwiw. Edit: didn't mean to imply Snowseal isn't good. I like and use it frequently, just not on leather boots with a rand.

This! Sno seal for leather gloves, kenetrek wax for boots.

For my Lowa Renegades I will clean them and then spray with the Kiwi Boot Protector. After sitting overnight, I use Frye Leather conditioning cream. I do this after every trip, and they still look almost new.

I use Nikwax Nubuck spray for Lowas and Hanwags.

I use the lowa branded cream and a silicone spray. Works great so far. No wet feet.
