Title: Zamberlan Boot Treatment question
Post by: cavemann on September 27, 2021, 01:00:31 PM: pulled the trigger on some Zamberlans Cresta's.. They have their hydrobloc treatment on them out of the box. I never buy high end boots so hesitant to put boot cure on them out of the box if they already are cured.. Leave as is and cure as necessary after wear?? Or go ahead and add good layer of beeswax base cure anyway like always?

thanks...

Dave Page, cobbler in Seattle, has been Zamberlan's US repair man for years. Contact him and ask.

Once a year and call it good. Going on season 4-5 on this set

I've had a pair of Zamberlan Guide GTX RR for 8 years (by no means an expert) I...clean after hunting (drench with water light bruising , allow a few days to dry) spray with Zamberlan hydroblock and store.

A couple weeks before hunting spray again.

Never leaked or had an issue.
