Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel (125ml)

Regular price $19.99
Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Description

Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel is a shoe cleaner for muddy trail runners and waterproof footwear, Gore-Tex® included. It has a brush built into the bottle, so you can scrub out ground-in dirt and bring back water repellency and breathability. A clean shoe also takes a waterproofer better, if you need one. Good after a boggy run, or before you put your shoes away for a while.

Why You'll Love It
  • Built-in brush, so no hunting for an old toothbrush
  • Gets dried mud out of mesh and seams
  • Helps waterproof shoes breathe again so feet stay less sweaty
  • Water-based and PFAS free
Technical Features
  • Type: Water-based footwear cleaner
  • Volume: 125ml
  • Applicator: Brush (press to break the seal before first use)
  • Method: Rinse and dampen, scrub with gel, rinse well, air dry
  • Suits: All waterproof footwear, including Gore-Tex® and eVent® lined shoes
  • Formula: PFAS free, non-flammable
Perfect For
  • Trail shoes after a muddy race or farm track
  • Gore-Tex® trail runners that feel clammy
  • Prepping shoes before a waterproofing treatment

Less suited to: Adding waterproofing. This gel cleans but doesn't reproof. For that, look at our Nikwax range for Fabric & Leather Proof.

Why We Stock It

Waterproof trail shoes aren't cheap, and caked-on mud cuts down how well the membrane breathes. This gel is the easy first step in looking after them. It also gets the most out of Fabric & Leather Proof, which works best on a clean shoe.
