Get More Out Of Work Boots
 |
It's designed to keep water and harmful chemicals from seeping in and reduces toe wear. It consists of liquid polyurethane with rubber particles embedded in it. To apply, you brush on the first coat and let it dry for 2 hours, then brush on another coat and let it dry overnight.
"Boot Guard works like a bed liner on a pickup, except that it's flexible and won't crack or peel," says Jake Brownell. "Many farmers apply it where the sole meets the sides of the shoe, because that's where dirt and manure gets in and can start eating away at the leather. Even if the toe is completely worn off the boot, you can still apply Boot Guard to the exposed steel and it will bond.
"Welders like to apply Boot Guard to the boot's seams, in order to keep any sparks that fall onto the threads from burning holes in the shoe."
Boot Guard comes in 2 and 4 1/2-oz. jars. A 2-oz. jar is good for at least 3 boot applications. The product is available in black or brown and comes with an applicator and a piece of sandpaper.
A 2-oz. jar sells for $11.50 plus $5 S&H; a 4 1/2-oz. jar for $14.50 plus $5 S&H.
