2. Shake before use. Press the sponge until the lock is released.
3. Apply generously to wet shoes.
4. After 2 minutes, wipe off excess liquid with a cloth and leave the shoes to dry.
Note: Light/coloured fabric and/or leather may darken after treatment. Test on a hidden area first.
Always leave your shoes to dry naturally...
1. Leave footwear to dry at room temperature.
2. You can stuff paper into the toes of your shoes to absorb excess moisture; it should be replaced when it gets wet.
3. Footwear should be kept away from fire and heaters; Drying too quickly may cause the leather to crack and the glued soles to come apart.
Why breathability depends upon water repellency...
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.
