Never used Kenetrek... so don't know. But I have used Snow Seal a lot. I use an old Toothbrush to apply and wipe / work in the wax. Oils will protect the leather but not seal the stitch holes. That is why I like snow seal....it clogs the holes. That is where the leaks usually occur. I used to make custom boots. Everyone and factory that I know of uses glue to place the parts of the uppers, tongue and vamp into position... then the boot body is sewn . The glue will sometimes seal the holes for a while but eventually they will leak . So if you want your boots waterproof.. you need to plug the seam holes and treat the leather. I am of course talking about leather boots. I have used a lot of products and not found one I liked more than snow seal... but I would never bash any other product.. If you like it ,use it. Roughout leathers will soak up the treatment like a champ but it will alter the look... this might bother you. Thanks for your thought on the subject.
I'm a wedding photographer and I just bought myself a pair of suede shoes from cole haan. I need a little bit of water and mud protection from them. Which one is better in your opinion? Loved the video by the way.

IMHO the SnoSeal is a better product if you have the time and means to apply the product.
Heat it up with a heat gun
