Thread: Lowa boots waterproofing

I got crispi nevadas recently and finally have dry feet. I tried sealing the tongue of my lowas with silicone but still couldn’t stop water getting in.I think you just have to go heavy full leather for waterproofing and accept that if they do get wet they won’t dry out. Synthetic and gortex just won’t cut it in my experience, once it’s overwhelmed by water it’s all over.

A few of us just use low cut or trail shoes now for short trips or to supplement boots during river travel.

I liken it to finding gloves that are waterproof, warm, dexterous, wind proof and light. That combo just won’t ever exist.
