Ive just looked at all the options mentioned here.

The Gregor cream looks to be the go:



Lowa cream retails at $19.95 for 75mls = 26.6 cents per ml

Meindl wax retails at $19.95 for 80gms = 24.9 cents per gram

Gregor Chemie at EZDIRECT is $25.00 for 250mls = 10 cents per ml

Just use the Lowa products according to their instructions. I swear it works! My boots are in great shape! I have had no issues. And yes I put the cream on after. It seems strange to me too but it works. Just be religious about using it. Well that’s what I recommend anyway. Good luck 😉

Used lowa products on my last set of rangers was useless.

I use a beeswax type abd found it works great. No crackibg and great waterproofness

Where the best place to get the full lowa cleaning kit?

I've had Lowa Tibets for about three years. I give them a good clean with warn water and a stiff brush whenever they have been dirty or very wet (which is often). I then treat them with the Lowa products. They have stayed in reasonable nick but maybe a little on the dry side. One of the boats does give a little squeaking noise at times which really annoys me. The other annoying thing is the inner sole seams to slide towards the front of the boat.

In general I'm not unhappy with the tibets but I think I'll try something else when I finally wear these boats out.

What size did you get if you are using them as a boat?

I've ordered the Gregor stuff, gonna give that a crack. See how it goes

Hubbard's shoe grease is bloody good stuff. It is the preferred product for Andrews Boots (similar to Lowa). Good waterproofing and keeps leather from drying out. If I am heading off on a long trip I will also put a coating or snoseal over top. Most hunting stores should have the stuff too.
