My boots have been soaked. What should I do?

BIG BLACK BOOTS - F A Q - Frequently asked Questions
Boots are made to be worn in wet conditions, so this is not a problem. Think of all the loggers and forest workers who wear Wesco boots in wet forests. The Dehner equestrian and Motor Patrol boots get wet all the time. The first thing to consider is that boots should be waxed or oiled so that they tend to repel water and are more resistant to water. Once they're wet, however, they should be dried as soon as possible with room temperature, dry air.

I have been using SnowSeal on my boots and wonder if you recommend something different?

BIG BLACK BOOTS - F A Q - Frequently asked Questions
SnowSeal is good for the sole edges and seams, but may be a bit of an overkill on the rest of the boots. We like the beeswax based boot grease or bee oil for both the standard oil tanned leather and the silicon tanned leather. These are a mix of beeswax and oil. SnowSeal is thicker and stickier and does not breathe, but it's great for sealing the seams and the interface between the soles and the boot uppers.

Where the axles flex, they are covered with rubber "boots" to keep road dust and dirt out of the joints. Over time, the rubber boots harden, crack, and eventually break. Then road dirt & water seep in and rapidly wears out the joints, requiring replacement of the axle.
