Walking Groups In Edinburgh Would Water Proof Spray Work?

Would water proof spray work? - walking groups in edinburgh

I am in full production of the Gold Award Duke of Edinburgh and I on the practice last year, there was rain, but not really much influence on the walking shoes. BUT! we decided to take a short cut through a wetland .... x______x five groups have decided to take the shortcut to yourself! cos we saw the other group, but met only in the village .... East were moved to tears and groans ... normal, but some people had no boots of water, like me, and it was 2 Day of travel 6 days and wet socks all week, even if we change new pair of socks, the shoes were still wet the whole week trying to dry their boots on the fire, but not yet dried 0.00000001%. .. what time want to lose more money and buy a pair of shoes, I have little money Toti heard that you can use a sealant ... has worked well? You have to keep spraying it on ... You must wait until it dries, go back to sea?
