Waterproofing for Nubuck and Suede Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof Sponge 125 ml

The Waterproofing for Nubuck and Suede Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof, is an aqueous product specially designed to apply to nubuck and suede footwear, and provide Durable Water Repellency (DWR), maintaining support, texture and breathability, being able to apply on wet or dry material.

If the water penetrates through the fabric of the nubuck and suede footwear, it will decrease the breathability so that the sweat cannot evaporate, and ends up wetting the feet due to condensation. That is why it is important that footwear maintains Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to ensure comfort. The water repellent layer is lost with use, so it is essential to re-establish the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of the footwear with Nikwax Nubuck and Suede Waterproofing. In this way, the absorption of water is avoided, while maintaining breathability, and thus the feet will always be dry even if the exterior is wet.

If the footwear is dirty, it can cause water to be absorbed, so it must first be cleaned with Nikwax Footwear Gel, and in the event that the footwear is new or has recently been waterproofed, that cleaning will suffice to reset Durable Water Repellency (DWR).

However, with the use of footwear over time, the water repellency is lost, so after cleaning with Nikwax Gel for Footwear, it is necessary to apply the Waterproofing for Nubuck and Suede from Nikwax to restore protection against water.

There are other waterproofing products on the market but they can reduce or eliminate the breathability of footwear, causing the feet to get wet due to condensation. There are also products that can be harmful to the user's health and to the environment, such as those that use fluorocarbons, or aerosols that are flammable. There are others that are solvent-based that have to be applied on dry material, while Nikwax Nubuck and Suede Waterproofing can be applied on both wet and dry material.

For this reason, the Waterproofing for Nubuck and Suede from Nikwax is a product for safe use for waterproof and breathable footwear, it is aqueous, ecological, non-aerosol, non-flammable, without Harmful solvents, volatile organic compounds, or fluorocarbons, and environmentally friendly.

This Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof Waterproofing for Nubuck and Suede has a size of 125 ml.

It is applied quickly and easily on wet boots, thanks to its sponge applicator, and provides Durable Water Repellency (DWR) during the drying process at room temperature.

It is possible that the nubuck or suede will darken, so it is recommended to apply it first in a non-visible area.

It is also advisable to fill the tips with paper so that excess moisture is absorbed, and change it every time it gets wet.
