Pros & Cons

Pros

Nikwax was recommended by keen for their clogs. The applicator is stingy at times, but it's not a deal breaker. I use it occasionally on my kean hiking boots - kean recommends this stuff which was good enough for me. Prepares the footwear for proofing...  Read More

Easy to spay on and shoes look like new now. Sloshing across a small creek or getting in a light shower was no problem. Only possible complaints are that the waterproofing doesn't seem to last as long as i would hope.

Out performing $300+ winter hiking boots. Five minutes and my newly acquired chippewa work boots are clean and protected.



Cons

The waterproofer was a disappointment. Now it gleams in certain spots in the sun since it's impossible to apply evenly. Using the boot cleaner to try to remove the stains from the waterproofer only stripped the nap and outer layer of the nubuck.

Quality


I am very happy with this product.


Definitely worth caring for our quality boots.


Took 3 applications and still was not satisfied with the cleaner.


I read some of the other reviews, they were not great, i still bought the product.

Packaging/appearance


The boots look new and water rolls off the nubuck like the day i bought them.


Water based: environmentally friendly, biodegradable, non-flammable, non-hazardous.

Competitiveness


Used the water repellent treatment on three pairs of blundstone boots.


Excellent product for cleaning and maintaining your gortex outerwear.
