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.
