Nikwax Conditioner for Leather, Conditions, Restores, Revitalizes, Boot, Shoe and Footwear Care

Used this item on my battered frye boots (after cleaning with soap and water) and it worked miracles. I got so excited I immediately pulled out a pair that I had stuffed to the back of the closet for being to stiff. The next day I was able to wear them comfortabley with no blisters for the first time in a year. So this stuff is basically a miracle. I then pulled out a few leather handbags (coach, frye, dooney and burke) and had no issues with any of the leathers. I bought another bottle of the stuff and finally pulled the other hidden item in my closet out (you know the item you fall in love with and spend half a paycheck on and then you're terrified to use it in case you ruin it) a "bone" colored dooney and Bourke tassled bucket bag. I used half bottle on the bag as it was pretty dried out. I almost cried when it was saturated and looked dark, but the next morning it returned to the original color. Its been about a week and I since I live in Oregon its been moist every morning and rained twice 🙃 The items have all been waterproofed and I've gotten compliments on my "new" items; the leather looks healthier, refurbished and new again

I’ve been using this on my full leather , crampon compatible hiking / climbing boots for years, and it works great, whether you’re breaking in a new pair or rejuvenating a seasoned pair. It adds water repellency as well as flexibility. The only flaw Is the sponge tip applicator . It disintegrates before the bottle is used up. Simple fix: use an ordinary household sponge when this happens.

This leather conditioner was great for all my shoes and boots and made them look great and brand new...

What’s not to like about this product. Its easy to apply. Just be mindful that this product is more on the liquid and runny side. If you’re expecting a thick conditioner this is not it. It’s a good conditioner and water repellent for my schnees boots.

So, I've recently learned how to take care of leather boots. Now I don't buy leather for aesthetic reasons, but for work. I work around lots of nasty chemicals and solvents that can kill my KEENS, but I also needed to be waterproof to avoid crazy issues like last month's storms. So, I scrubbed my boots of debris first, then wiped them down with a damp microfiber cloth. I waited 30 minutes for them to dry just enough to apply this stuff. Then I let the process go for about 12+ hours, no heat or fans or anything. I treat the leather as if it's living, and leave it alone. It does smell weird, but it's not terrible. It's not as sticky as you'd expect, as you have to press on the spongy thing to apply it on your boots. Then, next morning? My shoes went from a fuzzy looking cute teddy bear brown...to a sophisticated darker wallet brown. It was beautiful. As for protection? It does as good a job as ever, but I buy the waterproof spray anyway and shoot at the seams of my Welts. Regardless, my boots are just as invincible against water as before. In terms of leather care, personally I'm not disappointed, and will buy again in the future.

Excellent product, works as described and expected, as long as you follow the directions.

I bought this to use in tandem with the Nikwax waterproofing solution for Gore tex boots. The waterproofing stuff works well to do what it claims--waterproofing. I noticed, however that my boots were starting to dry out somewhat and showing some light cracking, etc. so I bought this stuff. I would highly recommend it for even very heavily used leathers. My boots take a beating in year round conditions, and this stuff softens them and toughens them back up at the same time. It has--without a doubt--helped to prolong the life of my boots and, in using it with the waterproofing product my feet are still bone dry in soaked conditions.

Maybe my boots are too far worn but the waterproofing was OK at best. It did condition OK

Werkt goed!

Great stuff!

Mach die Schuhe wieder weich. Habe es tatsächlich mehrmals aufgetragen da meine Schuhe wirklich hart waren. Nach dem Trocknen noch eine sprühversiegelung drüber und perfekt.

THANK YOU

Love this product for my leather walking boots, have used it solely for a number of years on different boots. As someone who in the past has suffered with expensive walking boots cracking in various places this is a perfect antidote both nourishing & waterproofing at the same time. Easy to apply (apply to wet footwear as per instructions) & 1 bottle lasts a long time. I have full confidence in the product, therefore happy to recommend.
