any advice.....discovered this morning that my left boot has started leaking, making for a lovely journey into work.   Can't really justify getting another pair so is there a way of waterproofing them in the meantime.    Not sure where they are leaking, all the seams look ok, no holes or anything obvious.   ta

plastic bag over your foot & in the boot? Best I can think of that's relatively cheap.

  HFG is quite right Jo, I used bread bags myself as they've no holes Wink   But I now use this stuff Approve   http://www.nikwax.co.uk/en-us/products/productdetail.ph...abricid=-1   It can be applied direct onto "wet" boots & glovesSmile   I can recommend all Nikwax leather & fabric waterproofing products Thumbs Up   Only trouble with placcy bags on yer feet, is they can make em sweat Disapprove   So you end up wi wet feet anyway Disapprove   Maybe it's significant, that it's yer "left" boot that's leakin Ermm   As that's the one which "flexes" most due to gear changing Geek   So maybe the area around where yer boot makes contact wi the gear lever is the culprit Ermm

Just about every pair of boots I've ever owned whether claimed waterproof or not the left boot would always leak firstLOL you'd think these people who make motorcycle boots would have solved this by now!

Sealskin socks... the only option once a boot gives up the ghost.
Other than a new pair of boots.

Mmmm there is a thought waterproof socks......

Emzed, looking at the boot I think it is where I change gear, which is the price of cummuting I guess....sigh.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

If its leaking on stitching rub a wax candel or crayon into the stitching so it fills the holes and along the joint
