Some of the best boots I ever owned were Frye boots and I followed Marc's
procedure as to preparing them. They were very nearly indestructible and
impervious to most weather conditions. I seem to recall a paraffin conditioner
for the laces and stitches? I might be short on my recall there.

None of you guys fish or hunt, do you? For
REALLY back-country work, you buy a solid pair of
boots, and then work them with Neatsfood Oil for
a period. The leather ends up really soft and it
is absolutely waterproof. In my youth, decades
back, I did a bunch of hard-country
trekking. I'm now 59 but, by this point, I can
find no one else to accompany me as I tend to
piss folks off quite readily. So be it.
And in these Richmond, Virginia, flatlands ,
fly-fishing is for bluegills or carp. Argh !
