NikwaxNubuck & Suede Proof, 125ml, Spray-On Waterproofing Restores DWR Water Repellency in Textured Leather Footwear, Shoe & Boot Care and Rain Protection

I have a pair of Merrell hiking shoes that I've been using pretty hard for a few years. They're still going strong, but I noticed during a hike that my socks were getting wet in a light rain, so I figured it was time to deep clean and re-waterproof, so after a bit of research, I bought this.Following the directions the evening the package arrived, I removed the laces, pulled out the insoles, and cleaned everything thoroughly with just water. When the shoes were still damp, I took them outside and sprayed them liberally with this stuff.Normally I would have let them air dry at a normal room temp (maybe in the garage or something). But I was actually heading out for a camping trip the next morning, so a bit crunched for time. I put them on top of my air conditioner compressor in the back yard. It was a very hot day, so that thing was blowing air probably upwards of 100°F. The shoes were bone dry within a couple of hours.All the same, the waterproofing seems to have worked great. No issues after re-lacing, everything felt normal. Honestly the waterproof-ness didn't get put to the test until months later, when I accidentally got too adventurous when fishing at a lake, and stepped into a marshy bog. The shoe went totally underwater, not quite up to the top where water could have gotten down into it. Maybe just a few drops got in, and my sock was dry within 20 minutes.

Very happy with product. Used on my leather boots for Seattle rain.

I got a pair of black bearpaw boots. And really wanted to waterproof them. After some reading some reviews on different products, I settled on this one.I was nervous to apply it. But it was real easy. I did apply it to dry boots and I did not clean them as they are new. Very easy to spray. It did come out in globs on the second boot. But I shook the bottle again and sprayed a couple in the grass. And it was fine. Spray it 6 inches away from the boot. Pat any excess off after a couple of minutes. And let sit for 24hrs in a dry place.The instructions are very simple. BUT. Are very vague. It does not tell you how long to let them sit for after application. I let mine sit for 24hrs. And that was fine. I’d let them sit for 48hrs if you wet them.The boots are waterproof! I tested it out. So this is a good product.

Good seller and fast shipping. Exactly what I wanted, and good value!

This is a quality product. When you first apply the spray, it turns the material dark. This worried me at first, however, once dried the shoes looked brand new. I used this spray on my Ugg slippers. I feel confident my shoes are protected. Easy to use. Good value for money.

Great purchase!

If you have light colored nubuck shoes and don’t want it change color- do not use this product!!! I ruined my shoes because now it got darker and the color is off. It worked wonders on dark nubuck. But really dark, otherwise it will leave uneven cover and ugly stains because spray bottle is not very good and sometimes spraying is uneven.

This baby works like a charmmm ✨I followed the directions and wet my Ugg boots and then applied the spray. I was in a bunch of snow and went skiing and there was not any water stains on my uggs! The spray is very effective and easy to use. Great value for money & I only used around 3 pea sized amounts, so the bottle will last for a really long time.
