Protect and extend the life of your smooth leather footwear with Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather, a high-performance waterproofing cream designed to restore Durable Water Repellency (DWR), revive breathability and maintain the natural support and suppleness of leather
Ideal for hiking boots, work boots and everyday leather footwear, Nikwax Waterproofing Wax prevents leather from absorbing water, helping to keep your feet warmer, drier and more comfortable in wet conditions.
Unlike conventional waterproofing treatments, Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather replenishes the tanning agents that are gradually lost when leather becomes saturated. This helps preserve the strength and structure of the leather without over-softening it, ensuring your footwear continues to provide the support and durability it was designed for.
When leather absorbs water, its breathability is reduced, causing moisture to build up inside your footwear. By restoring the leather’s Durable Water Repellency (DWR), Nikwax prevents “wetting out,” allowing moisture vapour to escape while keeping rain and surface water out. The result is dry, comfortable feet and footwear that performs better for longer.
For best results, clean your footwear with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel before application. Removing dirt and old residues helps restore existing water repellency and allows the waterproofing wax to bond more effectively with the leather. Regular cleaning and reproofing will maximise the performance and lifespan of your leather footwear.
Suitable for all smooth leather footwear, including boots and shoes with breathable waterproof membranes such as Gore-Tex®, eVent®, Sympatex® and other waterproof leather technologies.
