Nikwax Fabric and Leather Proof Spray on Waterproofing

Waterproofs, maintains support, texture and breathability of all combination footwear.

Breathable waterproof footwear is most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric or leather absorbs water, the breathability of the footwear will be reduced. Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your footwear must be maintained to ensure comfort. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™.

 

Waterproof footwear needs to be breathable...

When you’re active and wearing footwear, your socks draw moisture away from your feet, keeping them dry. However, if your footwear absorbs water and ‘wets out’ its breathability will be reduced. Moisture vapour will not be able to escape through the material, so your feet will feel clammy and wet. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which prevents water absorption, whilst maintaining breathability, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

 

Breathable waterproof footwear is for active, outdoor people...

Anyone who is active outside in damp or wet conditions will benefit from breathable waterproof footwear. Whether you’re a mountaineer, cyclist, dog walker, or you work outside as a farmer or surveyor, you will need good footwear.

 

Use Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ when your footwear soaks up water...

Your footwear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalised just from cleaning.  But, once the footwear has been thoroughly worn you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™, after cleaning first with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™.

 

Apply Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ by hand...

Brush off dirt with a damp cloth and clean using Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™.

Shake well before use. Press sponge applicator to break seal.

Apply generously to wet footwear; Spray-On (from a distance of 5cm) or Sponge-On.

After 2 minutes, remove surplus with a cloth and allow to dry before use.

Note: Light/coloured fabric and/or leather may darken after treatment. Test on a hidden area first.
