Drying Time

Highlights
Quality
Easy to use, dries quick, water resistant shoes.
It is extremely effective and keeps fabric and leather cleaner for longer duration.
It does not smell good and sprays onto fabric and leather with a milky white consistency.
It is only product that keeps his feet dry and his cleats from smelling horrible.
Price
Best value i can think of not having to buy expensive waterproof boots or other clothing.
Expensive stuff and the pump spray needs to be used close to your target too avoid wasting any of this precious liquid.
Shipping
I purchased this to see if i could re-waterproof my beloved hiking boots before a long trip to the canadian rockies.
