Nikwax Nubuck and Suede Leather Waterproofer - 125ml

Reapply when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, or after cleaning the footwear. Typically, this is after several uses or significant exposure to wet conditions.

No, this product is specifically formulated for nubuck and suede. For smooth leather, use a dedicated Nikwax product for smooth leather.

Yes, this product is safe for footwear with breathable membranes like Gore-Tex, as it does not block their pores and maintains breathability.

Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated nubuck/suede cleaner and allow the footwear to dry completely before waterproofing.

It may slightly darken some materials, especially if applied unevenly or if the footwear is very absorbent. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Water resistance means the material can repel water to a degree, as provided by this product. Waterproofing typically implies a complete barrier, often achieved with membranes or coatings that may affect breathability.

It is best to apply this product in a well-ventilated area. Allow footwear to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.

Ensure the footwear was clean and dry before application. Excessive application or failure to wipe away excess can cause darkening. Brush the nap once dry to help even out the appearance.

Check if the product was applied evenly and allowed to dry completely. The footwear may also need a deeper clean, or the DWR treatment may need reapplication after significant use.

Ensure you brushed the nap with a suede brush after the footwear was completely dry. If stiffness persists, the material may require a specific conditioner, though this product is designed to maintain flexibility.
