Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Footwear Duo Pack 125ml

All you need to clean, revitalize breathability and add water repellency to all combination nubuck and suede footwear. Both easy to apply by hand; spray or sponge on. Nikwax products are all environmentally friendly; they are water-based, PFAS-free, and have never used any harmful aerosols.

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 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. Through use, the outer surface of footwear will pick up contaminants, such as dirt, which attract water, masking the effect of any DWR coating. Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ will remove contaminants and revitalize DWR. Durable Water Repellency will eventually wear off and need to be renewed Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof™. Breathable waterproof footwear is for active, outdoor people… Anyone who is active outside in damp or wet conditions will benefit from breathable waterproof footwear. Whether you’re a mountaineer, cyclist, dog walker, or you work outside, you will need good footwear.

Breathable footwear needs the right cleaner and waterproofer to maintain performance: conventional footwear-cleaners leave behind a water attractive (hydrophilic) residue, which masks the Durable Water Repellency (DWR), causing footwear materials to absorb water and ‘wet out’ in damp or wet conditions. Therefore, they need to be avoided when cleaning waterproof footwear. Use Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel to thoroughly clean your waterproof footwear safely, and to revitalize DWR and breathability. Alternative waterproofing products are often solvent-based aerosols; alternatively, they may be water-based and use PFCs. Aerosol products are flammable. PFCs pose a potential risk to the environment and to the long-term health of the consumer.

You don’t need to re-waterproof every time you clean: regular cleaning will enhance the performance of your footwear, by removing water attracting (hydrophilic) dirt and other contaminants picked up when out-and-about. Cleaning using Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel will revitalize the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your footwear, causing water to bead on the outer surface. When Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel alone does not revitalize the DWR of your footwear, it’s time to re-waterproof using Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof.
