Keep your leather footwear and gloves truly waterproof without sacrificing breathability! Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather™ delivers instant, durable water repellency (DWR) for all smooth leather items—perfect for hiking boots, work gloves, or everyday shoes. Tired of stiff, soaked gear after rain? This easy-to-apply cream revives natural breathability while maintaining supple support, so your feet stay warmer and drier mile after mile.
Unlike harsh treatments, our non-flammable, PFAS-free formula protects without aerosols or toxins. It’s specially recommended for high-performance gear like Gore-Tex® and eVent® footwear since wet leather loses tanning agents, causing stiffness and reduced breathability. Regular use prevents “wetting out,” ensuring your favorite items last longer while performing better in downpours or snow.
Did you know dirt kills DWR? Clean first with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™—but once thoroughly worn, reapply this wax to restore protection instantly. Ideal for hikers needing waterproof smooth leather footwear that won’t trap sweat or compromise comfort. Simply rub in by hand; no rinsing needed! Trust proven leather DWR maintenance that’s eco-conscious and effective: revive breathability today while keeping condensation at bay tomorrow.
