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 nubuck or suede 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. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proofâ„¢.
Waterproof footwear needs to be breathable…
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 vapor will not be able to escape through the material, so your feet will feel clammy and wet. Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof™ adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which prevents water absorption, while maintaining breathability, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
Use Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proofâ„¢ when your footwear soaks up water...
Your footwear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gelâ„¢, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalized just from cleaning. But, once the footwear has been thoroughly worn you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proofâ„¢, after cleaning first with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gelâ„¢.
Cleaning properly can be as important as waterproofing…
Using the right cleaning product is as important as using the right waterproofing product. Conventional detergents leave behind a thin water-absorbent film on materials, which masks their Durable Water Repellency (DWR). Therefore, always clean your waterproof footwear with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gelâ„¢. Remember that dirt itself works against DWR, so regular cleaning will enhance performance.
How Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proofâ„¢ protects...
Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proofâ„¢ is easy and quick to apply; either spray or sponge on to wet boots. Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proofâ„¢ provides highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) which develops on air drying. It leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibers of nubuck and suede. This allows moisture vapor to pass through, maintaining breathability and keeping your feet dry. Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proofâ„¢ has been specifically designed and optimized for nubuck and suede combination footwear and will maintain the texture of the materials.
