Nikwax
Footwear Cleaning Gel
Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel is a great speciality cleaner if you're looking to clean your hiking shoes or boots. It is easy to use and will revitalise the water repellency and breathability of your outdoor and sports footwear. For a full-reproof we would advise using the Nikwax Fabric and Leather Proofer which is also available on our website!
Nikwax
Fabric & Leather Proof
The Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof is designed to maintain the appearance, waterproofing and breathability of leather and fabric footwear. It is best used with Nikwax's Footwear cleaning gel (otherwise you're waterproofing the dirt on the surface of your boots!). Nikwax products do not contain PFCs, which are chemicals that are good at making things water repellent but are also harmful to the environment.
Meindl
Sport Wax
Meindl SportWax has been specifically designed for use with nubuck leather. It will help to condition and keep the leather supple, in turn preventing it from cracking or drying. The leather will lose the brushed nubuck effect and darken, but treatment will improve water-resistance. Water-resistance will be further improved with the use of Wet Proof, particularly in soft leather areas, e.g. the tongue gusset on the Meindl Borneo.
