You can do this project with canvas or cloth shoes, and try wearing them in the rain. To waterproof your footwear you will need:
– Beeswax- Hairdryer- Canvas shoes or sneakers
It then proceeds as follows:
1. Carefully rub the wax over the surface of the shoe.two. If the wax is difficult to spread, you can help the process by barely heating the piece of wax. Be careful not to over melt it.
3. Apply the wax to the entire shoe, including the soles if desired.Four. Once you have finished this process, use the hair dryer and let the heat dry the shoes. If you notice that the wax is not melting into the fabric of the shoe, you can increase the heat of the dryer.
5. Keep in mind that the wax must melt and penetrate the fabric of the shoe, only then will it be more water repellent.6. Once the wax is melted and dry, you can wear your shoes in the water!
