The comfort of waterproof footwear and gloves depends on structural support, and being breathable. Tanning agents maintain the structure of leather, and therefore the level of support it provides. When leather absorbs water, tanning agents are lost, causing leather to stiffen. Also, when leather gets wet, its breathability worsens, giving you damp feet and hands. Therefore, it’s essential to maintain the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your leather footwear and gloves. Eventually, DWR will wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather. Regularly maintaining leather helps it work better for longer: leather is hardwearing, breathable, and provides a high level of support, making it an ideal material for footwear and gloves. Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather provides instant DWR, stopping leather from absorbing water and ‘wetting out,’ while maintaining breathability. It also replenishes tanning agents, to maintain the leather’s support without over-softening.
