Read More This product is useless. After application it only lasts about 10 minutes in the rain. It seems to do very little to condition leather as well. Perhaps I would recommend this for city slickers who will only need it to repel a light rain while bouncing from the subway to the office. But for hiking and work boots... disregard this product altogether. -

Read More This was easy to use because you won't need any extra materials to apply it. I also thought it was difficult to use because the applicator was stingy on the flow of the waterproofer. The light application made sealing around layered seams tedious. The shoes were not taking on as much water as before application, but still absorbed some. I would only use this for nubuck, where you don't want to change the color too much. If you have normal leather, or don't mind darkening the shoe - use Limmer Boot Grease. -

Read More Used this product on Lowa Renegade GTX, black color boots. I followed Lowa recommendation for cleaning, but used the Nikwax product for the final finish and used nubuc brush when done. Did a great job and really improved the leather condition as I had not taken good care with the boots for a couple of years. Definitely will continue to use and recommend to others. -
Jan 31, 2014Ruined the look of my new Merrell mocsI bought this product to waterproof my brand new, dark brown, Merrell mocs, but it discolored them to the point where they now look old and stained.

Read More This product has kept my Garmont GTX boots looking new and waterproof for 6 years. It takes less than 10 minutes to apply to a pair of boots, but I find one application a year is adequate to repel water and keep the nubuck looking like new. I highly recommend it.

Read More I used this on a pair of Keen 59 Shitake boots before a trip to Seattle. It rained all day everyday and my feet stayed dry and warm, even after a day on a farm in Auburn. You can expect some darkening when you first apply it, but its hardly noticeable when it dries.
