I'm a big fan of the Redwing boot oil also.

Definitely waterproof overboots. They look goofy but they definitely work. I don't like waterproof boots as I find them to be too hot most of the time.

Another happy Sno-seal user. Been using the stuff for years. The paste type, not the liquid spray.
I put my boots on the 'shelf' in the dryer and get em' nice and warm before I start applying the paste. The stuff melts like butter and the leather soaks it up nicely.

Not saying it'll make a pair of unwaterproof boots 100% waterproof, but it helps a lot. Nice conditioner too...

They are warm and totally dry but I never tried them on the bike.

+1 on the Huberds, its about the only thing I've ever used. Work it into the seams and welt really well. Let it dry and repeat. I do my boots 2-3 times a year. After a few years the leather gets as soft as a baby's ***. JMHO, YMMV, etc.
