using just a candle?
In the video below you will see exactly how to achieve, however the process is very simple.
Take a fat candle and with this rub very well the entire surface of the shoe. Pay attention in order to go to the wax everywhere because if you leave empty spots, then the water can penetrate inside the shoes.
After you scrub it across the surface of the shoe, dry the wax for a long time with a hair dryer. Then, if you try to pour water on the πάνινά you will find that the water will not stand at all on these.
