I love natural stuff - mink oil etc, but for Goretex boots it's pretty important to use something that allows for breathability, such as Nikwax.

Meindl sports wax mate. Very good for gortex boots as it doesn't block the pores of the material. Then some meindl waterproofing spray to finish. water beeds up on contact. Very good stuff nad cheap at less than £10 for the lot

Or if you are really stuck & bad weather is promised, die lube. preferably Royal case & die lube.
