The beeswax shipped pretty fast, since I signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime. The directions are on the back on how to use it. You heat up your boots, heat up the beeswax, and apply to the boots with a sponge. I used a paper towel as an applicator. I also heated up my boots with a hair dryer on hot, but I probably only should've used the warm setting, because my boots got a little wrinkly afterwards (it says do not exceed heat of 120 degrees F...I never read instructions, cuz I'm a rebel.) After the boots were heated up I just blasted the wax really quick, and then I got a glob and slathered it on the boots in a circular motion. I used a really generous amount; probably too much. You should probably start small and then build up from that. Anywho, after I got done applying the beeswax, my boots (black) looked pretty much the same, but they had an oily, waxy feel to them. I get the feeling you're supposed to let them sit for awhile to let the stuff soak in, or maybe I put too much, but anyways, I ran them under some water and it just beaded up and went away. After about one day, the waxy feel went away and the boots looked and felt exactly the same as before, but this time, they were waterproof. I mean, forrealz waterproof. I accidentally spilt fruit punch on them, and they still look good. Dirt is easier to wipe off of them now, too. Bottom line, the application process is a little tedious (I thought it was fun, but I'm just weird like that) but it's totally worth it because it makes your boots waterproof, has no fragrance, and is natural and won't give you cancer or whatever from the chemicals.

This is the classic wax treatment for work and hiking boots that will be worn in the snow. The stuff works like no other. The old trick is to apply it to the leather then set the boots in a warm (not hot!) oven so it will melt and sink in deeply where it won't wear off. Works absolutely great for waterproofing. If you are hoping to keep your leather breathable, this is not what you want--its a water tight seal. I've used it on work and hiking boots that are worn in the snow for 50 years. It's still the best there is for that purpose.

Received this Beeswax waterproof and expected it to be hard as a candle, it was but that's because it was 10 degrees out when it was delivered. Anyway, I let it sit at room temp overnight and the next day applied it to my new snow boots. I don't know if it was just me but I applied it with a shoe dauber, and it went on with the consistency of regular shoe polish. Got into all the sewn seams and nooks and crannies. Did not buff it but just let it soak in which it did then hit it with another coat.@ days later I was trudging thru 20 inches of snow ice fishing. The water from drilling holes in the ice and the snow just beaded right off my boot like a freshly waxed car in the rain. Only 4 stars for now. I want to see what the longevity of this stuff is before I give it 5 stars. Like everyone else said, it will darken your leather a bit, but then again so will water.

Does a good job. Used it on pull on work boots

Ya this stuff is the real deal! I rubbed this into my new leather boots with a microfiber cloth. I spent about 10 min on each boot working it deep into the leather. After it dried I could detect no residues left over from the product, it was 100% dry to the touch the next day. My boots were a light brown color when I got them and after applying this it did darken the leather slightly as it states, but I really liked the look it gave them. They look a much richer brown now almost reddish brown. Anyway the next day I was at work and splashed a little water onto my boot while washing my hands in the bathroom. I saw it bead up and thought oh that’s cool then continued to dry my hands and forgot to wipe the droplets off the boot. About 15 min went by while I was sitting at my desk and then I happened to remember the droplets and looked down to see if the boot was dry. To my surprise the same water droplets we’re STILL sitting on the surface of the boot! Lol. I proceeded to wipe the beads off to the side with my finger and they literally ran down the side of my boot to the ground without leaving a single trace of a water stains! That’s a damn good product in my book.

I feel like this works ok. It is hard to tell really. It covered my cowhide gloves well, but it made them permanently darker and kind of roughed them up some. It also feels very thin. I just don't know what to expect maybe but time will tell if they are still protected in a year.

J'ai le goût des beaux objets et de leur entretien, pour les chaussures, c'est la même chose, j'achète des chaussures en cuir naturel généralement de couleur fauve et les produits courants ne sont pas adaptés pour les cuirs délicats, soit ils sont trop gras, soit ils sont trop aqueux, le temps de séchage est trop long et ils modifient l'aspect de la matière et de la couleur, c'est pourquoi après une expérience sur l'entretien des livres anciens, je me suis dit que la cire d'abeille serait probablement le bon produit, je confirme que la cire d'abeille la plus pure possible est le produit qu'il faut pour vos chaussures, vous l'appliquez avec un chiffon doux et ensuite vous le lustrez, c'est impeccable et il en faut très peu, le traitement tient plusieurs jours en condition normale.

Very easy to apply, makes gives the leather a much deeper colour and improves softness. I like it very much, the leather looks clean and fresh and of course dry as the wax is forming a protective screen! I use it on my Lowa boots as I walk daily in highlands. In most cases, shoe polish is wiped out by grass and heathers quite quickly but not this wax. Highly recommend!

L’ho usato su due giacche di pelle Non posso esprimermi sulla impermeabilità perché non ha piovuto ancora 😀, però devo dire che lascia la pelle molto morbida e toglie i segni

Does exactly what it says it does. I would go through a pair of construction boots every year wasting hundreds of dollars every year in new boots. I got sick of spending big money on expensive boots therefore one year I decided to buy some cheap brand of boots from Walmart called Workload for $79.99 and they only lasted me a year as well but for that price I didn't care. After that pair was all dried up and the leather had ripped I went and bought the same brand again but this time I treated it with job site beeswax snow Shield. I have been wearing those same boots for the third year now. I treated them with job site beeswax snow Shield the day I bought them, then I did it again A year later and I am doing it again today. The boots still look as good as new. There are some wrinkles in the leather but that's normal wear and tear. The leather has not ripped and they are still waterproof. For sure these boots will last me another year. The secret to using this product successfully is to clean your boots and then just before applying the beeswax is to warm them up with either a hair dryer or put them in the oven for a few minutes to get them nice and warm. This allows the beeswax to melt as soon as it supplied and it gets into all the little cracks and crevices preventing the leather from drying up and cracking and creating a solid waterproof Shield. This product has saved me a lot of money over the years. It has made cheap construction boots from Walmart outlast expensive construction boots which I had spent over $300 per pair every year consistently. I usually don't write reviews however when a product proves itself to be great and does everything it promises it deserves a great review.

Cubrí unas botas de caña alta, unas de caña normal y un gorro y gaste muy poco para cubrir todo. Da mucho de sí. No puedo comentar sobre la impermeabilidad porque aún no ha llovido.
