If your combination hiking boots or shoes are starting to absorb water instead of repelling it, then you’ll need a product like Fabric & Leather Proof from Nikwax to get them trail-ready again.
This product adds a flexible water repellent treatment which will also allow moisture vapour to pass through for breathability. It’s also non-hazardous and environmentally friendly for your peace of mind.

Merrell Moab1 answer
Hi there, would this be the appropriate product to refresh the waterproofing on a pair of Merrell Moab boots? Thanks
Laura - Ballarat, VIC (1 year ago)
G'day Laura,
Yes, this would be suitable to revive the waterproofing on your Merrell Moab Shoes as they are best used with Leather and Gore-Tex.

Waterproofing my shoes 1 answer
Would this be ok to use on my KEEN Targhee EXP Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Which uses keen Dry waterproof breathable membrane. My shoe seem to get damp walking in grass now
Tvn - Campsie, NSW(2 years ago)
G'day,
Given the boots you've mentioned are a synthetic (fabric) upper, this product would do the trick. Nikwax is water-based so it won't affect the breathability of the boot. Just make sure to read the instructions before using & you'll be fine.

La Sportiva TX5 GTX1 answer
Hi, Do you think this will work on my La Sportiva TX5 GTX and my partners' La Sportiva Akasha? Best Walter
Walter - Sydney, NSW(2 years ago)
G'day Walter,
We don't sell La Sportiva so don't have any immediate experience with these shoes - after a quick bit of research, I cant see why they wouldn't work on the TX5 GTX with that nubuck and canvas style tight weave fabric. The Akasha look to be a different story, being a porous & breathable, non-gortex synthetic trail runner. I don't think there's really much you can do for those, but there's no harm in giving it a go.

Nikwax ok to use on synthetic fabric hiking boots? Just my boots when walking through wet grass can get a bit damp inside the boot with the sock soaking up most of the moisture.1 answer
Just when walking on wet grass my boots get damp inside the boot predominantly the sock soaking up most of the moisture.

G'day Craig,
Yes based on your description the Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof should do the trick to add some more water repellency to your synthetic boots.

Product query1 answer
Hello Please advise whether this product can be used on The North Face Ultra Fastpack III Mid GTX Wmn's Boot as an added outside protection? Thank you.
Tricia - Southport(5 years ago)
G'day Tricia,
The Fabric & Leather Proof is designed to revive your struggling footwear, so if your shoes are new we'd say there is no need to use this, however, if you've had them for a while and they're leaving your feet a little damp then yes you could use this to revive them.

Which Nikwax product?1 answer
Hi there I have Scarpa Gore-Tex hiking boots that are a combination of fabric (80%) and suede (20%). To protect and maintain the upper, can you confirm I should use Nikwax Fabric and Leather instead of Nikwax Nubuck and Suede.
Huntzman - Chirnside Park(6 years ago)
G'day Huntzman,
I've just chatted with our footwear experts and we think you'd be ok with either, but the Nubuck and Suede Proof is probably a slightly better choice as the leatherproof might alter the colour/finish or your suede.
