Fabric & Leather DUO-Pack

✅ What won me over Deep-Clean Without Stripping: The gel foams up and lifts trail grime but leaves the original DWR intact. My boots didn’t darken or stiffen—no “saddle-soap” effect. Spray-On Simplicity: The proofing bottle has a nice fine mist. Hit the fabric panels, give the leather a quick wipe, let it dry overnight—done. Water beads like on a new jacket. Breathability Intact: Zero plasticky build-up. My feet stayed dry outside and inside during a six-mile slog in steady rain. No swamp-foot. Eco-Friendly Formula: Water-based, PFAS-free, and non-flammable. I used it in my laundry room without cracking a window. Value in the Bundle: 125 ml of each easily covered two pairs of mid-height boots plus my kid’s trail shoes with product to spare. 🤔 Tiny nitpicks Sponge Cap Learning Curve: The cleaner’s built-in sponge is great, but you have to squeeze the bottle a little to get gel flow—took a minute to figure out. Dry-Time Patience: For best results you really need overnight drying. Not a big deal, just plan ahead if you need boots first thing in the morning. 🎯 Bottom line Clean, reproof, and go. If you hike, hunt, or just hate soggy sneakers, this DUO-Pack is a small investment that pays off every wet weekend. My boots shed water like a duck and breathe like new—can’t ask for more. Five stars, easy recommend.

I’ve been using the Nikwax Fabric & Leather Duo-Pack on my sneakers and cleats, and I have to say—it’s a game-changer for anyone who spends a lot of time outside. The cleaning solution easily lifted dirt and mud, even after long hikes and weekend soccer games. The waterproofing keeps white soles looking fresh and helps prevent dirt from sticking, though it’s more water-resistant than full-on waterproof. I’ve trusted Nikwax for 25+ years, and the quality hasn’t skipped a beat. For me, it’s all about keeping my gear ready for the next trail, trailhead, or backyard adventure without spending hours scrubbing. Highly recommend for anyone who loves being outdoors and wants their shoes to keep up!

Did a great on cleaning a pair of leather boots that I left in the garage. The prevous coating was wax based and became cloudy. This not only cleaned the old coating to allow the new waterproofer to soak in. I have used it to clean several leather boots, some wrte suede and canvas and it worked well.

I recommend this Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel and Fabric & Leather Proof kit highly if you own high-performance, waterproof, and breathable footwear that combines fabric and leather (such as Gore-Tex hiking boots). The recommendation is based on the product's specific design features and proven effectiveness: Top Recommendation Factors Maintains Breathability (Crucial for Performance): The single most important factor for waterproof-breathable gear (like Gore-Tex, eVent) is maintaining its ability to let sweat vapor escape. This kit is specifically formulated to not leave hydrophilic (water-attracting) residues that conventional detergents leave behind. This ensures the gear keeps breathing, keeping your feet dry from the inside out. Specialized Cleaning: The Footwear Cleaning Gel does more than just remove visible dirt; it removes the microscopic dirt and contaminants that attract water, thereby revitalizing the existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of the factory finish. Often, a good cleaning is enough to restore performance. Optimized for Mixed Materials: The Fabric & Leather Proof is the correct product for footwear that contains both fabric panels and leather sections. It treats both materials effectively without overly softening the leather, a common issue with non-specific waterproofers. Application Method: Both products are designed to be applied to wet footwear. This is by design, as damp fabric and leather absorb the treatment more effectively, resulting in a more durable DWR finish. Environmentally Responsible: The products are PFAS-free, water-based, and non-flammable. This provides peace of mind regarding the environmental impact and safe indoor use, especially compared to solvent-based aerosol alternatives. Best Practice Recommendation Clean First, Always: Use the Footwear Cleaning Gel every time your boots look dirty or start absorbing water. Cleaning alone will often restore performance. Waterproof When Needed: Only apply the Fabric & Leather Proof after cleaning, and when the cleaning gel alone no longer restores the beading action of water on the surface. Test on Leather: As a precaution, test the Fabric & Leather Proof on a hidden area of any light or colored leather, as treatments can sometimes cause the leather to darken slightly. This kit provides the complete and correct two-step care system for high-end, combination-material waterproof boots.

Noticed my feet getting wet in snow - these cleaned up my light gray Oboz boots quite nicely and got them waterproof again so my feet stay dry while snowshoeing.

Do not purchase! Received only 1 of 2 containers! The cleaning solution does not come out of the bottle. Had to poke a hole in the side with a knife to get cleaning solution out! It smells like ammonia! Horrible!

This is my "Go-To" shoe/boot cleaning and waterproofing product. My approach shoes in particular get dirty and wet quite often. These products are easy to apply and help me maintain and extend the life of my footwear.

Good product just wish the brush on the cleaner was stiffer

One clean , re-waterproofed walking boots later I’m a happy customer.

I have used a lot of thos company's products and I have been very pleased. The leather shoe one does darken the shoe which I expected it would. So I would definitely recommend all this company's products.

Funciona bien si te ayuda a impermeabilizar me funcionó en mis tenis lo recomiendo

this duo pack cleaned all my hiking shoes and boots that were in need for some deep cleaning, the before and after photos i took are proof of how of a job they did at cleaning and waterproofing. Although its a bit of a hassle when i was using the cleaning bottle because of how it dispenses the cleaning liquid. But maybe that's just me not knowing how to properly use it. My shoes look brand new after using this duo pack

Usually these are amazing. I previously had bottles with the sponge cleaning attachment which were good, the brush addition to these new bottles is great. Unfortunately the red stopper fell out so there is not control of the cleaning fluid coming out, so I have gone through it really quickly.
