Fabric & Leather Proof

Great product! I use this on my sneakers and on my leather shoes for water repellents and they work great. I applied two coats to my Nike sneakers and two coats to my Beckett Simon and shoes and the water just beads off does not discolor the leather and does not discolor the sneakers. Great product and there's plenty enough to spray at least four or five more pairs

Nikwax fabric and leather water proofing is so easy to use, spray it on, wait 2 minutes, then wipe it off and let dry. It really didn’t affect the color of any of my shoes. So far dry feet. Another quality product from Nikwax.

Nikwax Fabric and Leather Proof worked wonders for restoring the waterproofing on my old shoes. The performance is excellent. However, the only issue is that the applicator head is way too large, which causes too much liquid to pour out at once, making it difficult to apply evenly. I ended up having to use my hands to spread it properly

Good for shoes and sneakers

Worked great for my boots! After using the cleaning solution they required, I went outside and sprayed this on my north face thermoball boots. They were dry when I needed them two days later. I stomped through at least a foot of snow and my feet were completely dry. It was such a change compared to the two weeks prior where I had to shovel almost a foot of snow and my feet were soaked afterwards. A great solution instead of getting new boots.

Applied to new pair of boots. I thought the instructions to apply to a wet surface was a bit odd but after checking with Chat GPT I followed the instructions to apply to a clean wet surface. First thing i noticed was that after the 5 minute wait period where you dry off the excess, a lot of the black polish that had been applied at the shoe factory came off, and the boots went from a shinny to a very dull color. While on vacation using these waterproofed boots it did not seem to really repell that much water, so in summary I think I would have been a lot better just not usning the product

I have several pairs of shoes that are either a fabric or a suede. So far, this has never caused any discoloration or change in color on any color or shade, and it works. Depending on how often I've worn the shoes in wet weather, I reapply about every Fall or late summer. I live in the CO mountains; we have extended periods in spring and Fall with mud - a lot of mud (it's much better than sidewalks and paved streets). So, shoes need to be good with mud and wet, including snow. I started using this brand on Inkka's shoes, because they're a combo of a heavy fabric with dyes of varied colors, and suede and it's great. It's easy to use. I brush off the shoe or lightly clean it first, so all dirt and dust are off before applying. I think as long as you follow the directions, you're good. I dislike this task, though it takes minutes (it does take a bit to dry, I don't know how long because I leave them out on the deck about half a day - I don't think it takes that entire time to dry). Besides, depending on where you live, there is another benefit; here, in the night there are a lot of wandering creatures and in the past when I've left shoes with leather outside on the deck, animals will pick them up and carry them off. With the spray on them, they don't do that but now I try to remember to bring them inside before nightfall. :)

Before I tell you about Nikwax, please note that I also use Scotchgard from 3M. If you use a solvent based water proofing spray (think 3M), be prepared for strong odors and solvents. 3M waterproofing is great for nubuck and suede as it doesn't darken fabric or natural hide. The down side is that it does require an aerosol can that contains a rapidly evaporating solvent. It dries quickly and should be applied outdoors. Nikwax is water based and has no solvent. It does not smell good and sprays onto fabric and leather with a milky white consistency. No solvents and safe to use indoors. Nikwax takes a while to dry - but in the end, it is excellent for maintaining water repellency. It is extremely effective and keeps fabric and leather cleaner for longer duration. It does tend to darken leather and fabric more than the aerosol (3M) stain repellants. I would not recommend Nikwax for use on suede or on nubuck as it will change the texture if you use too much. Breathability is maintained. For smooth leather and fabric it does seem to work as long as you know that the darkened color change is a strong possibility.

buen producto tal y cual lo describen !

I ordered the sponge on bottle specifically because I prefer that applicator. In the photo and description it does say “sponge on”. But the bottle that arrived is spray on. This is not as good. I messaged the vendor but they haven’t responded. Very disappointed in Amazon’s quality control here.

I used the waterproof-spray for my hiking boots and I’m really happy with how it worked — after spraying it they kept water out even when I walked through damp grass. It felt easy to use and the boots didn’t lose breathability, which was great. One small thing though: the spray mist was a bit fine and I had to make sure I covered every part carefully or some spots still soaked in a little. Overall it’s a good product and I’d recommend it if you want to keep your shoes dry.

tres bien dans m'est attente

I am using it for my UGGs and blundstone shoes. It is really good and work well for my shoes.
