Description of Nikwax Footwear Care Kit for Nubuck and Suede
Nikwax Nubuck and Suede Footwear Care Kit is designed to give you everything you need for a pair of Nubuck or Suede boots. The cleaning gel removes dirt and residue without harming the leather. Then waterproof your footwear with the Nubuck and Suede Proof for long-lasting protection. Best for Nubuck and Suede leathers and safe for Gore-tex.Clean and maintain your nubuck and suede leather footwear with this Nikwax footwear kit, which includes a cleaning gel and waterproofing agent. The gel cleaner--which works on all suede, nubuck, or smooth-finish leathers and fabric--is designed to remove stubborn dirt and wax left by previous waterproofing applications. It's also formulated to retain leather's natural water repellency, unlike most other cleaners, which instead strip leather of its natural oils. Recommended for Gore-Tex and SympaTex footwear, the cleaner is ideal for general cleaning, but also as a prep for a fresh waterproofing application. Enter the Nikwax water-based waterproofing agent, which contains mineral waxes, flexible polymers, and tanning agents to condition and protect your leather footwear without over-softening it or changing the fit. The agent is specially formulated to bond with fabric fibers and leather, making it suitable for Gore-Tex, SympaTex, and eVent footwear. Note that the wax will darken down leather and suede, so users should always test on an inconspicuous spot first. All Nikwax water-based products are nontoxic and contain no harmful solvents, fluorocarbons, or propellants.
Apparel reviews of Nikwax Footwear Care Kit for Nubuck and Suede
Customer Review: Nikwax vs Snoseal
Rating: 2 Stars
Initially, I was talked into Nikwax for reasons such as, "It's better for your shoes and less damaging", "It doesn't attract dirt", etc. I followed the application instructions and my leather shoes still got soaked in the Seattle rains and puddles. I had another pair of leather shoes and decided to use Snoseal (the stuff I always used for my hiking boots), Snoseal is still my favorite. My shoes have stayed dry in Seattle rains and this week they are surviving the scary puddles of New York when I can't avoid them.
Customer Review: worked well... at first
Rating: 2 Stars
I normally am a big fan of nikwax products, and the cleaner certainly did a great job of removing the stubborn salt stains that had accumulated on my nubuck shoes, but the waterproofer was a disappointment. It worked great at first, with the shoes repelling snow and stains well for the first few days, but they soon became susceptible again. I reapplied, but I had already used over half the bottle for the first application.Customer Review: DON'T BUY!!!

I recently purchased this item, unwrapped the package and then followed the instructions for the footwear cleaner gel. Apparently, you have to 'Press the sponge applicator' to break the seal to release the gel. I did that, but no gel comes out. After spending about 10 minutes, shaking, pressing and squeezing to get the gel out - no luck. Since it is unwrapped I cannot return it so it was a waste of $15!
