Our leathers are pre-treated and ready to go right out of the box with water-resistant properties, and boots that are built with GORE-TEX® or Danner Dry liner are 100% waterproof. There are still precautions you can take to ensure the liner remains protected and maintained.
As you start to wear your boots, or they are in-and-out of water, the protective coating in the tanning process can wear off causing the leather to absorb water quicker. This is when treating your boots with a water-resistant product is advised. When that time comes, our Care Guides give step-by-step instructions based on the material of your boots:

Suede & Nubuck Care Guide
Fabric & Textile Care Guide
Not sure what material your boots are made from? We can help with that too! Our Style Finder, located below our Guide Finder on Danner Care, will help identify the material of your boots so you can get started.
If you have a boot that's waterproof-lined and are experiencing wet feet, you may be eligible for warranty. Visit our warranty page for more information.
