Nikwax Sandal Wash, 4.2 oz. / 125ml Nikwax

Cleans Your Footwear

Your waterproof footwear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty! Through use, the outer surface of footwear will pick up contaminants, such as dirt, which attract water. This masks the effect of any Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating, leading to footwear ‘wetting out’ in wet or damp conditions.

Cleaning waterproof footwear with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt, but also revitalize DWR, causing water to bead on the outer surface once more.

Waterproofs Your Footwear

Alternative waterproofing products leave behind a surface coating that can inhibit or reduce breathability, leading to wet feet from condensation. Many waterproofing products areaerosols or use fluorocarbons. Aerosol products are flammable, and fluorocarbons pose a potential risk to the environment and to the long-term health of the consumer.
Nikwax products are a completely non-flammable, safe product that you can apply to wet or dry leather, providing instant Durable Water Repellency (DWR) while maintaining breathability. Nikwax products can waterproof footwear made of fabric, leather, suede, or nubuck!

Eliminates Odor From Your Footwear

All sandals and foot beds have one thing in common; over time, contact with your bare feet will lead to a build up of dirt and body oils. This then leads to bacterial growth and smelly footwear!

Nikwax Sandal Wash is a highly effective cleaner and deodorizer which has been specifically designed and optimized to clean and deodorize all non waterproof footwear, including shoes, sandals and next to skin areas of footwear, such as insoles and footbeds.

Aids the Breathability of Your Footwear

Breathable waterproof footwear is most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric or leather absorbs water, the breathability of the footwear will be reduced leaving your feet clammy and wet. Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your footwear must be maintained to ensure comfort. Through use, the outer surface of footwear will pick up contaminants, such as dirt, which attract water, masking the effect of any DWR coating. Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel will remove contaminants and revitalize DWR.
