For footwear proofing
Why breathability depends on water-repellency...
Breathable waterproof footwear will most likely perspire and become damp inside when used in wet or damp conditions. If the outer fabric or leather absorbs water, the breathability of the footwear will be reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain durable water-repellency (DWR) on the footwear to ensure comfort. Over time it wears away and needs to be restored with Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™.
Waterproof footwear must be breathable...
When you are active and wearing footwear, socks wick moisture away from your feet and keep them dry. However, if your footwear absorbs water and becomes "soaked", its breathability will be reduced. Moisture vapours will not be able to escape through the material, so your feet will feel sticky and damp. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ provides footwear with durable water-repellency (DWR) that prevents water absorption whilst maintaining breathability, so your feet stay dry and comfortable.
Use Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ when your footwear becomes waterlogged...
Your footwear may become waterlogged simply because it is dirty. First try cleaning it with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™, and if it is relatively new or recently re-proofed, the durable water-repellent layer (DWR) will be restored simply by cleaning. But once footwear has been worn extensively, you will need to add DWR using Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™, and this should be done after first cleaning with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™.
Proper cleaning can be as important as proofing...
Using the correct cleaning product is as important as using the correct proofing product. Common cleaning products leave a thin water-absorbing film on materials that masks their water resistance (DWR). Therefore, always clean your waterproof footwear with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™. Remember that dirt itself works against DWR, so regular cleaning will enhance performance.
How Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ protects...
Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ is easy and quick to apply; either spray it or apply with a sponge to wet footwear. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ provides highly durable water-repellency (DWR) that develops as it air dries. It leaves a flexible water-repellent finish on individual fibres of fabric and leather. This allows moisture vapours to pass through, maintaining breathability and keeping feet dry. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ has been specially designed and optimised for combined fabric and leather footwear.
How to use
Apply Nikwax™ Fabric and Leather Waterproof by hand.
- Clean footwear with a damp brush to remove dirt. For greasy and stubborn stains use Nikwax™ Footwear Cleaning Gel.
- Shake before use. Squeeze the sponge until the lock releases.
- Apply generously to wet footwear.
- After 2 minutes wipe off excess liquid with a cloth and allow footwear to dry.
Note: Light/coloured fabric and/or leather may darken after treatment. Test first on a hidden area.
Always allow footwear to dry naturally...
- Allow footwear to dry at room temperature.
- You can stuff paper into the toe of the shoes to absorb excess moisture; when it becomes damp, it should be replaced.
- Footwear should be stored away from fire and heating appliances; drying too quickly can cause leather to crack and soles to delaminate.
