Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof adds water repellency and prolongs the life and performance of all fabric and leather combination footwear - work, fashion, leisure and sports. It is also safe to use on footwear with breathable membranes such as Gore-Tex, Symatex, eVent etc without effecting the breathability. The solution is easy to apply and can be used on wet clean shoes.
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
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.
Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof is easy and quick to apply; either spray or sponge on to wet boots. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof provides highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) which develops on air drying. It leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibres of fabric and leather. This allows moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability and keeping your feet dry. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof has been specifically designed and optimised for fabric and leather combination footwear.
How to use Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof
- Clean the shoe with a damp brush to remove dirt. Use Nikwax Shoe Cleaning Gel for stubborn stains.
- Shake well before use. Press the sponge until the lock is released.
- Apply generously to wet shoes.
- After 2 minutes, wipe off excess liquid with a cloth.
- Leave footwear to dry at room temperature.
- Paper can be stuffed into the toes of your shoes to absorb excess moisture; this should be replaced when it gets wet.
