Product Information

This legendary brand never ceases to flood the market with innovative products. If you’re talking about shoe care, KIWI will be on top of people’s minds. The latest product is the KIWI Boot Waterproofer. It’s a tough silicone protector for all kinds of boots. We think it’s currently the best waterproof boot spray available on the market. This spray has a unique formula that bonds leather and fabric. It creates an extremely tough barrier while allowing the material to breathe. Exactly when this will happen varies for everyone. It depends on myriad factors, such as how often the boots or shoes are used, whether they're leather walking boots, what conditions they're subject to, how old the footwear is, and so on.

Liquiproof LABS Premium Protector Spray is a unique and highly effective waterproofing spray. It creates an easy-to-clean protective coating that prevents damage from everyday stains and spills. Advanced nanotechnology protects each individual fiber of the material. Not only can it be applied to boots, but it’s also suitable for handbags, trainers, and clothes. This is much better than a one-purpose spray because you don’t have to buy many different sprays.

The best performing system for thoroughly cleaning, enhancing water repellency, and revitalising the breathability of wet weather clothing.

View Product Waterproofing Wax for Leather Each waterproofing product is a little different—some are applied to wet products and some to dry, for example, and they each require a slightly different optimal spraying distance from the item—so it’s important to read the bottle instructions before you begin. In most instances, you’ll need a well-ventilated outdoor workspace for application, and you should cover that workspace with something like a tarp to keep the product excess contained. A tool that every boot owner should own is the stripper heat gun. With this tool, you can ensure that your boots get the proper treatment they deserve, especially after wearing them in hard areas. The gun has the capability to warm and has a temperature control to go with it. Most boots are waterproof out of the box but over time, they lose their waterproofing. The more you hike through rivers, ice, and snow, the less repellent to water they will become. To keep your shoes functioning as they should, here are some top ways you can retain waterproofing for hiking boots. How Does Waterproofing Work?This is an aerosol product, and you must take extra care not to breathe in the vapors when spraying (the bottle even recommends you don’t allow children or pets near the spray or wet items). There is also a strong chemical smell. We tested in a well-ventilated breezeway and still had to step away for a few minutes after spraying the boots each time. The scent did linger longer than on some of the other products—even after the recommended 24 to 48 hours of drying time—but it eventually faded with time and wear. Especially if you are applying to a tent, for example, you’ll want to allow some time for the item to air out before use. If you’re concerned about changes to an item’s color or texture, spot-testing on a small area is always a good idea.

You have to avoid low-quality boot spray that’s made of toxic materials. Not only will it damage your boots, but it’s also bad for the environment. The Vetro Power Shoe Protection Spray is the best waterproof boot spray that’s guaranteed to be non-toxic and environmentally friendly. This boot spray is made of non-flammable, anti-UV, and anti-fade properties to increase the lifespan of your boots. Flaws but not dealbreakers: The brand suggests waiting around 12 hours for the spray to be totally effective, which is quite a long time. You’ll have to plan in advance if you know when you want to wear them. Our tester especially liked that this spray had no detectable smell, and it came at an affordable cost—it really was flawless. You can buy an eco-friendly refill pouch of Performance Repel Plus for your sprayer instead of an entirely new bottle when you run out. Grangers also sells a wash-in version of this spray if you prefer that waterproofing method.Specialist waterproofer designed to protect against UV damage and enhance water repellency of all weatherproof textiles.
