I did a search on the internet to find the best waterproofjng spray and this was one of them, not the top one but better priced. I sprayed 3 pairs of boots and 1 pair of shoes and still have spray left. After drying overnight I ran water over a pair of boots and it repelled perfectly. No discoloration on any of them and spray was easy to use. Note: very strong smell!! I sprayed outside with a mask and it was extremely strong smelling and I had to keep stepping away, so caution, but it works and I would buy again. Read more

I am so impressed with this product. I have gone traveling to visit family only taking a pair of running shoes with me. It snowed in both places. Additionally, I went on a wet golf course. With one application, there was essentially no water intrusion into the shoes. Read more

I found this from a popular youtuber shoe cobbler as recommended along with another more expensive brand. We bought this to treat kid’s Nike AIR MAX MOTION 2 SNEAKER and Nike TEAM HUSTLE QUICK 2 BASKETBALL SHOE. One has bright white mesh, mixed with red accents, black rubber on the back; the other is a leather white, black with gold accents. We were very concerned about the white turning yellow so we tested this product on an old pair of similar shoes previously untreated and also a bright white golf hat to simulate a cloth/mesh fabric. Both did great after sitting several days. So we sprayed the new shoes in a hidden spot and let dry. That did well so we treated all the shoes with very light spray and let dry 24 hours, then treated again. The white and other colors are great! Black rubber on one shoe did get a white cloudy film but we removed that with a shoe cleaner a few minutes after application. Both have been worn and no noticeable difference in feel. Overall very impressed. It is not going to protect from everything but it does help on cleanup and should keep white whiter longer and from serious stains. Will update if something changes. Read more

I use this for all my shoes and hats. It seems to be the best for water and stain protection. When applying the stuff, it does leave a clear liquid mist all over the item you are treating, but it will become invisible after a while. That said, it will change the texture and feel of the material sprayed, especially soft materials like wool, felt, velvet, and suede materials. The material will become slightly scratchy or crispy to the touch. You may want to soft brush the items after the stuff dries. One thing that I have noticed with my all my gentlemen's hats (wool and felts) is that if the hat scuffs up against something scratchy like a rough wall or something, it will leave behind white marks on the hat, like when you run your nails across your dry skin. The darker the material the more obvious it is. Spraying the area with a water bottle or using a soft brush often fixes the problem, but still kind of an inconvenience. Another downside of this product is that the spray can drips badly at the spray button, which can be the kiss of death with certain wool and suede like materials. Every can I have purchased has leaked badly. Prolonged spraying makes the problem worse. It is better to spray intermittently to minimize the problem. Make sure you never place the can over the item you are spraying so drips don't fall onto the item you are spraying. The overall effect of this stuff is good at protecting and preserving your shoes and hats, but not without some minor inconveniences. Read more

I bought this after researching several waterproofing sprays for suede shoes. I've used another highly rated brand, but this "looked" like it might work even better. I will say that the spray nozzle did have some manufacturing issues and was leaking from the base, but I washed what ran down my hand right afterward and all was well. I sprayed two pair of shoes, one full suede pair of Merrell slides, and the other was a mid-calf winter boot with suede and a wool-type fabric and some faux fur around the top (I didn't spray the faux fur other than some possible overspray). I hit both pairs with two coats from about a foot away and each coat was about 10 minutes apart. I waited about 15 minutes then carefully brought them into the house to dry (YES, apply this outdoors away from anything you don't want waterproofed). The spray did not affect the color of either pair of shoes. The next morning I did the "run the shoes under the faucet test" I'd seen in one of the videos. My husband looked horrified at first, but the product did exactly what was shown on the video, the water literally repelled off the shoe and ran off both pairs. My husband's fear was replaced with a look of complete awe, like he'd just witnessed a magic trick. The suede shoes were his new Merrell slides, he can be rough on his shoes so I felt protecting them properly up-front might give them a bit more life than they'd have otherwise. My boots are now waterproof too so I can wear them to clear snow when he's at work. Really happy with the performance of the product. If it holds up and does what it says, I will buy more to treat additional winter and camping shoes. Read more

I had picked this item because I was told that the shoe store that this is a good product to waterproof your suede shoes. The shoe store would not deliver so I purchase thru Amazon. It is very easy to use just spray on the suede area. Read more
