For the fur trade the mix I have been using is a 50/50 mixture of rendered tallow and bees wax witch when rubbed in to the leather of the moccasin makes it water proof for about 8 hrs of use. You dry that set at night by the fire and re apply the mix in the morning. Put two layers of wool between you and the moccasin and your feet are nice and toasty.
