Drying Instructions:
* Leave footwear to dry at room temperature
* Paper can be stuffed into the toes to absorb excess moisture, this should be replaced when wet.
* Keep footwear away from fires and radiators, drying too quickly can crack leather and cause bonded soles to peel

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 Nubuck & Suede Proof™.

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. 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 Proof™ when your footwear soaks up water:
* Your footwear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it with Footwear Cleaning Gel™, 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 Nubuck & Suede Proof™, after cleaning first with Footwear Cleaning Gel™

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 Footwear Cleaning Gel™. Remember that dirt itself works against DWR, so regular cleaning will enhance performance

How Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof™ protects:
* Nubuck & Suede Proof™ is easy and quick to apply; either spray or sponge on to wet boots. Nubuck & Suede Proof™ 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. Nubuck & Suede Proof™ has been specifically designed and optimized for nubuck and suede combination footwear and will maintain the texture of the materials
