To create a water-repellent layer on the surface of shoes, you can use not only store-bought compounds, but also folk remedies.
Paraffin or wax
If you rub the top of your boots with paraffin or wax, not a single drop of water will get inside the shoes. The main thing is to remember to dry the pair with a hairdryer afterwards.
A mixture of paraffin, linseed and castor oil
In addition to pure paraffin, you can use a mixture prepared on its basis with the addition of linseed and castor oils, which are sold in pharmacies.
First, grate the paraffin on a fine grater - you need 1 teaspoon of shavings, then melt it in a water bath, adding 2 teaspoons of each oil.
The resulting mixture should be applied to the upper part of the boots. This should be done at least 6-8 hours before leaving the house.
Petrolatum
The treatment can also be carried out using heated Vaseline, or if you don’t have it, pork or goose fat.
Earlier we talked about how to remove odor from shoes without deodorant.
