New Red Wings usually need to be waterproofed. I like to use a light treatment with Red Wing boot oil, followed by Snow Seal. The boots will usually soak up most of the Snow Seal if left in a very warm spot. Too much heat isn't good.
Note that not all Red Wing leathers are suitable for treatment with boot oil. Boot oil and Snow Seal will both darken leather. Check the Red Wing site for specific waterproofing recommendations.
After boots get a year or two old, no amount of treatment will make them waterproof, because the stitches get loose and allow water it. However, the exception is if you dig deep in your wallet and spring for a pair of Gore-Tex lined boots. They'll keep your feet dry, even if the boots themselves are soaked through.
