Your outdoor and sports footwear deserves more than just a quick wipe. The Nikwax Care Kit is a professional two-step system designed to restore the functionality of combination footwear. It returns your gear to its original high-performance state: impeccably clean, fully breathable, and heavily protected against the elements.

1. Cleanse: Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel (125 ml)

This gel is the first and most critical stage of maintenance. Unlike ordinary soaps or household detergents, this specialized formula does not clog membrane pores and leaves no hydrophilic residues that attract water.

Key Benefits:

• Deep Penetration: The formula breaks down stubborn dirt, mud, and oils without damaging the structure of the leather or synthetic fibers.

• Precision Applicator: The built-in sponge applicator allows for targeted and economical application, even in hard-to-reach areas like seams and eyelets.

• Breathability Revival: By removing dirt, the gel clears the membrane's pores, allowing your feet to "breathe" again.

Compatibility: Perfect for footwear featuring Gore-Tex®, Sympatex®, eVent®, and other breathable membranes.

2. Protect: Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof (125 ml)

The second stage creates an invisible shield against water and stains. This innovative water-based proofer is specifically formulated for mixed-material footwear (textile + leather).

What It Does for Your Boots:

• Hydrophobic Shield: Water droplets simply bead up and roll off the surface, preventing saturation.

• Leather Conditioning: Special softening agents restore flexibility to dry leather, preventing it from cracking or hardening.

• Lightweight Performance: Proofed footwear doesn't soak up water, meaning your boots stay lightweight even in heavy rain.

• Easy Application: The spray format ensures even coverage of the entire boot in seconds.

3. Home-Safe: Can be used indoors as they do not emit toxic fumes.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

To achieve the best results, follow this professional sequence:

1. Preparation: Rinse the boots under running water to remove loose dirt. The surface must be damp before treatment.

2. Cleaning: Shake the Footwear Cleaning Gel, press the sponge onto the boot, and apply. Use a nylon brush for stubborn stains. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

3. Protection: While the boots are still wet (this is crucial for the proofer to penetrate), spray the Fabric & Leather Proof from a distance of about 5 cm.

4. The Finish: Wait 2–3 minutes, then wipe away any excess liquid with a clean cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally (stay away from direct heat sources like radiators).
