"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I use Footwear Cleaning Gel anytime my boots start to look muddy or stop beading water. It cuts through dirt fast, clears out the pores of the fabric, and instantly improves breathability. It’s the best first step before reproofing, and honestly, a lot of the time cleaning alone brings back enough DWR to keep my boots performing in wet conditions.""We trust Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel when our waterproof boots or trail shoes start losing their ability to breathe or shed moisture. This cleaner resets our footwear back to peak performance by removing contaminants and reviving the durable water repellency already built into the material. The gel penetrates deeply without harming coatings or softening leather. After a quick brush-on application, footwear dries cleaner, breathes better, and resists saturation more effectively. Whether we’re maintaining backpacking boots, trail runners, or everyday waterproof shoes, this cleaner keeps our footwear dry, comfortable, and ready for the next long day outside."
