1. Waterproofing Spray

Safe for all footwear, Ask.com recommends applying waterproofing spray to boots to fight off snow with ease. I personally suggest Granger's, as it's suitable for all shoe materials.
2. Rubber Grips

For leather boots, a wax coating can work wonders. Birch Box blog recommends Armstrong's All Natural Leather Care Trio and I'm all about it, too! Using only 100 percent natural waxes and oils, this kit protects your boots with environmentally safe products like carnauba wax, beeswax, and grapeseed oil.
