Moreover, wet feet while outside in cold temperatures is uncomfortable and dangerous. Luckily, there are ways to make your boots more waterproof.
One of the best ways is to spray your boots with waterproofing sprays or waxes.
In fact, these can help add a seal of protection around your boot.
So, if you are using summer hiking boots, this is a great option along with layering and water-resistant socks.
However, waterproofing sprays are usually designed for specific materials. For instance, some may be specifically for leather, while others are for tennis shoes.
However, many sprays can handle multiple fabric types, like Nikwax Leather and Fabric Spray.
Just make sure you are choosing the right formula for your shoe.
