Kiwi Boot Waterproofer - Tough Silicone Waterproof Spray for Boots (1 Aerosol), 10.5 Oz

Product Information

Fabric boots can be re-proofed whilst wet or dry. You may prefer to clean and dry out your boots, apply the reproofer the following day and leave to dry overnight again before next use. Although this takes a little longer, you will be able to see where you have sprayed the proofer on much easier than spraying on to wet boots. Not all waterproofing technology is the same and some are considered better than others. However, at some stage, no matter what brand you’ve bought, you’ll have to reapply the waterproof layer. The Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On, a non-aerosol product, was designed to help your waterproof and breathable outdoor wet-weather gear, including Gore-Tex items, return to a water-resistant state. That’s certainly what it did for our tester's favorite rain shell, which before testing was wetting out—absorbing water in patches, on the sleeves especially, and becoming heavy and clammy—on rainy hikes. Since the Aged Leather Pros Leather Waterproofing is made of plant-based materials, it’s safe for your skin. There will be no problem because the materials contain no dyes, perfumes, contaminants, and petroleum. This water-based spray is also biodegradable. You’ll have more peace of mind knowing that the product you use won’t expose harmful effects to the environment.

When it comes to the upper material, GORE-TEX always refers to the care instructions of the manufacturers. They always include instructions on how to treat the material to give it the longest possible life span. Of course leather needs a different kind of maintenance than textile fabric. The fact that there is a GORE-TEX membrane two layers below the upper doesn’t have any impacts on this. But in any case, you can’t go wrong with removing the dirt from the outside layer of the shoes, using a piece of cloth or a brush and some lukewarm water. If you plan to recondition the dry treatment of the shoes, this is one of the absolutely necessary steps. Still, if you prefer an easy way to get the job done, then go right ahead and use your spray compound. Meltonian developed a compound that is safe to use on suede and leather because the compound dries in about 30 minutes after application. Therefore, in just a few minutes afterwards, you can start wearing your boots outdoors again. Why Water And Salt Can Damage Your Boots Alternatively, you can opt for a waterproof cream or paste. In fact, these types of waterproofing products are popular amongst users. To apply these types of waterproofing products are applied using lint-free cloths just like the rest. The best feature of oil and cream-based waterproof products is that they make your leather boot materials flexible. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. How Do I Reproof My Leather Boots Using Wax?

Uploading

If you’re concerned about changes to an item’s color or texture, spot-testing on a small area is always a good idea. Apply a small amount of dubbin wax to a cloth and rub over the leather sparingly. If the wax is too hard to rub onto your boots, use a hair dryer to soften it. While the formula varies from each product, good waterproof sprays use a liquid fluoropolymer to cover the fabric with a protective seal that repels water, preventing it from getting soaked from water.

While people are sometimes intimidated by the products, assuming they can potentially ruin a much-loved item or that the process of application is more complicated than it is, Heidi Allen, vice president of marketing at Nikwax, is working to spread the gospel of re-waterproofing. Water isn't the only enemy of fabric. UV rays from the sun can cause discoloration on some fabrics, so that might be a factor to consider when buying a waterproofing spray.
