Jason,
For leather boots, I have always used and gotten good results from
Sno-Seal. It disappeared in (I think the early 80's?) from the market
for a while, and I tried others, but could not find anything that I
liked as well. I sure was glad when backpacking shops and mail order
carried it again.
I try to re-apply before each trip, while riding in the car on the way
to mountains, usually. After rubbing it on, I use a rag to wipe/buff
off the excess. This gives good protection for my full-leather boots on
trips up to about 10 days.
