This is what Granger's of the UK say:

I want to wax my leather boots.

Unlike other footwear, your leather boots might need a little extra care if they’re to keep performing at their best. Fortunately, with Grangers range of dedicated leather-care products, keeping your leather boots in top condition is easier than you think…

The best way to keep smooth leather boots looking and performing like new is by waxing them. First, make sure that your boots are clean – for best results, we recommend using Grangers Footwear Cleaner.

Then, once your boots are clean and dry, it’s time to pick the right product depending on your needs:

• G-Wax offers great all-round performance, including good water-repellency, good levels of conditioning, and only a minor decrease in breathability.
• Leather Conditioner  is a cream wax that comes in a tube rather than a jar. It provides similar performance as G-Wax, but is easier to apply and perfect for topping up high-wear areas.
• Paste Wax is perfect for providing maximum nourishment to dry or cracking leather. It offers great water-repellency, but does affect breathability as a result.

Whichever treatment you choose to apply, make sure you use a clean cloth and rub the product into the surface of your boot – making sure to treat around the laces and along any seams or joins!
