Why Breathability Depends on Water Repellency
Breathable waterproof footwear is designed to keep your feet dry while allowing sweat vapour to escape. But once the outer fabric or leather absorbs water, breathability drops and your feet can start to feel damp and uncomfortable.
To stay comfortable, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on your footwear must be maintained. Over time, this protective layer wears away and needs to be renewed with Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™.
Why Waterproof Footwear Still Needs to Breathe
When you’re active, your socks wick moisture away from your feet. But if your boots or shoes absorb water and “wet out,” breathability is reduced and sweat vapour can’t escape. The result: hot, clammy feet.
Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ restores water repellency while maintaining breathability, keeping your feet dry and comfortable on every outing.
When to Use Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™
If your footwear is soaking up water, start by cleaning it with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™. For newer or recently reproofed footwear, cleaning alone may revive the DWR. But once your boots are well worn, you’ll need to reapply Fabric & Leather Proof™ after cleaning to fully restore protection.
Safe, Effective Waterproofing for Fabric & Leather Footwear
Some waterproofing sprays are solvent-based or use PFAS. These can be flammable, harmful to the environment, or compromise breathability.
Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ is water-based, non-flammable and PFAS-free. It’s been developed specifically for fabric-and-leather combination footwear, delivering durable water repellency while preserving breathability. For best results, apply while footwear is still wet.
Why Cleaning Matters
Dirt and conventional detergents both weaken water repellency. Detergents leave behind residues that attract moisture, while dirt itself works against DWR. That’s why it’s important to always use Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ before reproofing. Regular cleaning helps your footwear perform at its best.
How Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ Works
- Easy to apply: sponge-on or spray onto wet boots.
- Restores highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) that develops as footwear air dries.
- Leaves a flexible treatment on individual fibres of both fabric and leather.
- Maintains breathability so sweat vapour can escape.
- Designed specifically for mixed-material footwear.

How to use

Nikwax Fabric And Leather Proof Spray-On Waterproofer

Important: Shake bottle before use. Always clean footwear first with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™.

Sponge Application

Protect your work surface from potential overrun.
Dab the sponge to release product.
Apply evenly to clean, wet footwear.
After 2 minutes, remove any excess with a cloth.
Allow footwear to dry naturally before use.

Drying Instructions

Always allow footwear to dry naturally at room temperature.
Stuff paper into the toes to absorb excess moisture, replacing when wet.
Keep footwear away from direct heat sources such as fires or radiators — drying too quickly may crack leather or damage bonded soles.
