Nikwax Leather Footwear Liquid Waterproofing Wax

Leather is hardwearing, breathable and provides a high level of support, making it an ideal material for footwear construction. During leather production, tanning agents are added to maintain the structure of leather and prevent microbial growth. If leather becomes wet, its breathability will be reduced, leading to wet feet from condensation.

Also, when leather absorbs water, tanning agents are lost. Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather™ liquid provides Durable Water Repellency (DWR), stopping leather from absorbing water and ‘wetting out’ while maintaining breathability. It replenishes tanning agents to maintain the support of leather footwear without over-softening. Additionally, Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather™ liquid in black/brown restores color.
