Most say that. That is why I qualified with "in my experience". I haven't had your results and came back from my farm with some miserable wet and cold feet many times. I would rub it on the boots liberally and melt in with a hair dryer. Still soaked up water like cardboard. :( Oh,well.
 
In my experience, if you want dry feet, wear rubber boots. Everything that is put on leather just seals for a short time. It is rubbed, worn, or scraped off after a bit of use. I think it's like water-PROOF watches vs. water-RESISTANT watches. Water-proof boots are rubber.
 
I used Sno Seal on my boots when I had to stand in water all day long using a chainsaw to free a log jam. My feet were bone dry when I got home.

I never tried it for patches, but I think it would be similar to Old Zip. I threatened to try waterproofing with Old Zip once. It'll probably do a dandy job.
