Waterproofing

Waterproofing for shoes - Protect your favorites against moisture and dirt 

Waterproofing shoes is one of the most important steps of shoe care. Whether you wear sneakers every day, loafers to work or boots in autumn weather, the right waterproofing makes a big difference. With a good waterproofing spray, you protect your shoes against rain, snow and dirt, while the material retains its unique properties for longer. 

Why should you waterproof shoes? 

Waterproofing creates a protective layer that causes water and dirt to bead on the surface rather than penetrate the material. This makes shoes easier to keep clean, reduces the risk of moisture damage and extends the lifespan of the shoes. 

When is the best time to use waterproofing spray? 

The ideal moment to waterproof shoes is when they are new, as they are clean and dry, providing optimal protection. If the shoes have already been worn, make sure to clean them thoroughly before applying the waterproofing spray. This can be easily achieved using our foam cleaner and polishing cloth. 

Is waterproofing suitable for all shoes? 

Our waterproofing spray works perfectly on leather, suede, nubuck, and textiles. For suede and nubuck, waterproofing is particularly important because these materials are more sensitive to moisture. 

How to waterproof shoes - quick and simple 

• Clean the surface to ensure the shoes are clean and dry 
• Shake the bottle thoroughly 
• Spray an even layer from approximately 15 cm away. Spray lightly - the surface should not be soaking wet 
• Allow the shoes to air dry for 24 hours 

Waterproofing is a small step in the shoe-cleaning routine, but it makes a big difference. With proper shoe care, your shoes will feel and look good for significantly longer. Read more about how to care for your shoes in our shoe care guide.
