Footwear Cleaning Gel

The safe cleaner for all waterproof outdoor and sports footwear. Cleans safely, revitalizes breathability and water repellency.

Why breathability depends upon water repellency?

Breathable waterproof footwear is most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric or leather absorbs water, the breathability of the footwear will be reduced. Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your footwear must be maintained to ensure comfort. Through use, the outer surface of footwear will pick up contaminants, such as dirt, which attract water, masking the effect of any DWR coating. Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ will remove contaminants and revitalize DWR.

When you’re active and wearing footwear, your socks draw moisture away from your feet, keeping them dry. However, if your footwear absorbs water and ‘wets out’ its breathability will be reduced. Moisture vapour will not be able to escape through the material, so your feet will feel clammy and wet.Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ will revitalize the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) preventing water absorption, maintaining breathability and keeping your feet dry and comfortable.Anyone who is active outside in damp or wet conditions will benefit from breathable waterproof footwear. Whether you’re a mountaineer, cyclist, dog walker, or you work outside as a farmer or surveyor, you will need good footwear.

How Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel maintains the breathablity of your waterproof footwear.

Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ is a highly effective cleaner which has been specifically designed and optimized for breathable waterproof footwear.Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ is a safe product to use on breathable waterproof footwear as it does not leave water attracting (hydrophilic) residues, which lead to fabric and leather absorbing water and ‘wetting out’. Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ removes water absorbent dirt and stains picked up during use; this revitalizes Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and causes water to bead on the outer surface.Regular cleaning with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ will revitalize existing DWR and revive breathability of your footwear, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
