For footwear waterproofing
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 this wears away and needs to be restored using 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 durable water-repellency (DWR) to your footwear, which prevents water absorption whilst maintaining breathability, so your feet stay dry and comfortable.
Use Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ when your footwear becomes soaked with water...
Your footwear may become soaked with water simply because it is dirty. First try cleaning it with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™, and if it is relatively new or recently re-treated, the durable water-repellent layer (DWR) will be restored simply by cleaning. But once footwear has been worn hard, 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 waterproofing...
Using the correct cleaning product is as important as using the correct waterproofing product. Ordinary cleaning products leave a thin water-absorbing film on materials, which masks their water-repellency (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) which 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 combination fabric and leather footwear.
How to use
Apply Nikwax™ Fabric and Leather Waterproof by hand.
- Clean footwear with a damp brush to remove loose dirt. For greasy and stubborn stains use Nikwax™ Footwear Cleaning Gel.
- Shake well before use. Squeeze the sponge until the lock is released.
- 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.
- Paper can be inserted into the toe of the shoe to absorb excess moisture; this should be changed once damp.
- Footwear should be stored away from fire and heating appliances; drying too quickly can cause leather to crack and soles to delaminate.

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. With use, dirt particles, such as soil, collect on the outer surface of the footwear, which attract water, masking the effect of any DWR surface treatment. Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel will remove dirt and restore DWR.

Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel will restore durable water-repellency (DWR), preventing water absorption, maintaining breathability and keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
Breathable waterproof footwear is designed for active people who move around outdoors...
Anyone who is active outdoors in wet or damp conditions will benefit from breathable waterproof footwear. Whether you are a mountaineer or walk your dog, or work outdoors as a farmer or surveyor, you will need good footwear.
When your waterproof footwear becomes soaked with water, use Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel...
Your waterproof footwear may become soaked with water simply because it is dirty. With use, dirt particles, such as soil, collect on the outer surface of the footwear, which attract water. This masks the effect of any durable water-repellent (DWR) layer, leading to the footwear becoming "soaked" in wet or damp conditions.
Cleaning your waterproof footwear with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel not only removes dirt such as soil, but also restores DWR, causing water to bead up on the outer surface again.
Make sure you clean with the right product...
Ordinary footwear cleaning products leave water-attracting (hydrophilic) residues which mask durable water-repellency (DWR) and cause footwear materials to absorb water and become "soaked" in wet or damp conditions. Therefore, they should be avoided when cleaning waterproof footwear.
Use Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel to thoroughly and safely clean waterproof footwear, restore DWR and breathability.
You do not need to re-waterproof your footwear every time you clean it...
Regular cleaning will enhance your footwear performance by removing water-attracting (hydrophilic) dirt and other contaminants picked up during outdoor use. Cleaning with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel will restore the durable water-repellency (DWR) of your footwear and cause water to bead up on the outer surface. When Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel alone does not restore the DWR of your footwear, it is time to re-treat using an appropriate Nikwax footwear waterproofing product.
How Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel maintains the breathability of your waterproof footwear...
Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel is a highly effective cleaning product which has been specially designed and optimised for breathable waterproof footwear.
Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel is a safe product to use on breathable waterproof footwear because it does not leave water-attracting (hydrophilic) residues which lead to fabric and leather absorbing water and becoming "soaked". Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel removes water-absorbing dirt and stains picked up during use; it restores durable water-repellency (DWR) and causes water to bead up on the outer surface.
Regular cleaning with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel will restore existing DWR protection and revive the breathability of your footwear, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
