If you get your boots dirty, or have worn them for a few adventures without cleaning them they will lose some of their ability to repel moisture. You can tell when moisture sreads along the grain rather than beading up and rolling off the shell. Same as most any waterproofed gear item. Rinse 'em, clean 'em and proof 'em to keep them going strong season after season. Can use Nikwak's products or something similar.
