<p>What can I do to repair my boots? My current plan is to just get some thick thread and just resow them, but I am concerned about whether they will be at all waterproof afterwards. Is there anything else I should do/consider?</p>

<p>My boots are leather and made by Meindl if it makes any difference</p>

<p>P.S yes, I should definitely look after my boots better so they don't get in this state, but ts a bit late now...</p>
