If you already have boots, and they don't have Gore-Tex in them, I would use sno-seal. But you can only apply it to smooth leather, not for use on suede.

Sno-Seal is great and what I used to use for hunting until Gore-Tex came out. Use small quantities and rub it into the boot. I used to use a lighter (carefully so not to scorch the leather) to melt it into the leather and seams.

+1 on the sno seal. I use an old toothbrush to get it along and into the stitching were the sole and upper meet and the use a blowdryer. You can get a couple of coats on in no time. Then do it on occasion to keep them waterproofed

Vaseline petroleum jelly; apply, let sit for an hour, wipe off excess.

Gore-Tex is the way to go!
Have run the plastic bags before, always used to have a couple of used bread bags in my jacket, just in case mother nature wanted to rain on my parade!
