FAQs
How often should I use the Oboz Shoe Care Kit?
It is recommended to clean your boots after every heavy use or when they become visibly dirty. Apply the repellent whenever you notice water no longer beads off the surface.
Can I use the cleaner on leather boots?
Yes, the cleaner is safe for most leathers, but always check your specific boot manufacturer's care instructions before cleaning.
Do I need to dry my boots in direct sunlight?
No, always air dry your boots away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can crack leather or damage adhesives.
Is the Footwear Repel safe for Gore-Tex membranes?
Yes, the repellent is designed to be safe for breathable, waterproof membranes like Gore-Tex.
Can I use this kit on my running shoes?
Yes, the kit is suitable for synthetic mesh and fabric running shoes as well.
Troubleshooting
Water continues to soak into the boot after treatment.
Ensure the boot was sufficiently clean before application and allow the repellent to fully cure for 24 hours in a well-ventilated area.
White residue appears after cleaning.
You may have used too much cleaner. Rinse the area thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is compatible with most hiking and outdoor footwear brands, including leather, suede, and synthetic mesh boots. Before applying the Footwear Repel, ensure your boots are free of loose dirt. Always test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area of the boot first to ensure colorfastness. Store the bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the caps are tightly sealed after each use to prevent evaporation or leakage.
