Kiwi Waterproof Sneaker Protector Spray Step 2, 200ml

Product Information

The contents of this spray are silicone-based, which is why they are so effective. Hundreds of customers have reviewed the item stating that it kept them and their gear completely dry in downpours, but do keep in mind that its effectiveness will depend on the materials used for your gear. It’s also important to note that silicone-based sprays leave a film residue on shoes, so you may not want to use this on sensitive suedes or your favorite formal loafers. This occurs by over saturation. If you spray too close to your leather sneakers, you may notice a white film on the surface. Leather isn’t a breathable material so the spray may not penetrate into it causing the buildup. If you do happen to make this mistake, don’t bother trying to wash it away with water, as Crep Protect is made to keep your sneakers safe from liquid. Rather, spray onto the leather again until it’s wet. While wet it will bond with the dry layer. Finally rub it all in with microfiber cloth to work it in, protecting your sneakers and removing any marks. Rubber - You probably don’t have full shoes made of rubber, but your outsole is bound to be rubber. Concentrated heat from your hairdryer won’t severely damage the rubber, not right away. Over time, rubber breaks down, and while the heat will accelerate deterioration, it won’t warp or damage your sneakers immediately. Price - Fortunately, shoe protector sprays are not expensive and with the varieties available, there are plenty for your to choose from. In most cases, a bottle will last you for six months so it makes economical sense to always have one or more of these shoe protector sprays in your shoe closet and one for travel as well. They certainly cost less than replacing your shoes on a regular basis. What To Do Before Using Shoe Protector Sprays

A shoe protector must be versatile enough to protect a wide variety of materials and fabrics, especially common ones like leather, suede, and canvas. If its range is limited to just one or two types, you might end up wearing only those shoes and neglecting the harder-to-clean sneakers. Additionally, your shoe protector spray should work in all types of weather conditions and last long. Multifunctional sprays that can be used for other household items like furniture and bags are definitely a practical choice.Leather (top or full grain) - This is where you hit a dead end. They take far longer to dry than other materials, yet you cannot, under any circumstances, use your hairdryer to speed up the process. Leather has an all-natural set of oils trapped inside, meaning that intense heat will dry them out. This is how you get fading (the unattractive kind), splitting, flaking, all the bad things that leather lovers don’t want to happen.

This is a hydrophobic barrier that stops water, dirt, and various liquids from infiltrating the shoe's fabric. As a result, spills and blemishes are less likely to leave lasting marks, with water simply rolling off the surface. What sets Collonil apart is its commitment to maintaining the sneakers' breathability, even with highly effective waterproofing. This feature makes it an excellent option for preserving the quality of your sneakers. Work wear - We can only imagine what you’re treading through every single day. You know, and that’s what matters. This is half our experience and half your judgment call. Assuming you’re working the nine-to-five grind and have the battle scars to show for it, you should apply your spray when you get home on Friday night, and just let them dry until the next Monday. You’re putting them through forty or more hours of hell; once a week will be your best bet. Hydrophobic sounds exactly like what it is. We give your shoes a liquid phobia. The hydrophobic barrier repels most liquids so they don’t get through. They just float on the protective layer waiting for you to wipe them off. When purchasing a shoe protection spray, you need to consider the benefits you need it to provide. Do you want to protect your shoes from water, or is it stains that you’re worried about? What is the climate like? Depending on how much rain you get where you live, you will need to consider whether you need your shoes to be waterproof, water resistant or water repellent. These are three very different categories, and should not be confused. It is also important that you are aware of the limitations of your footwear. A pair of leather flats cannot be expected to keep you dry in knee-deep snow, so your footwear choice should be made according to the weather as well.We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. Look for a shoe protector that offers effective water and stain resistance for suede shoes. Suede is more susceptible to water damage and staining compared to smooth leather, so a reliable protector should create a protective barrier to repel water and prevent stains from setting in. Application Canvas - Canvas is durable regardless of temperatures, so using a hairdryer won’t be an issue here.

You might need to apply a shoe protector spray after every 2 to 4 weeks. Again, this depends on how frequently you wear the same pair and what the weather conditions are like.Yes, they do. Shoes worn in rain or snow-heavy regions will demand more frequent application, whereas shoes that aren’t exposed to much dirt or moisture can go 2 to 4 weeks before the next spray. However, the effectiveness of the spray will vary based on several factors such as the number of wears, weather conditions, the fabric of your shoes, and the type of spray used. When you've found the perfect pair of shoes, you don't want them to get ruined by the rain. And, with Britain's weather as unpredictable as ever, investing in a waterproof spray for your new trainers or boots is a must, especially as we move in to showery autumn. Waterproofing sprays aren't just for shoes — you can use them across many products, from clothing to gear to furniture. So if you're planning on waterproofing your shoes, consider what else you might be interested in protecting. That way, you can buy a single spray that covers multiple products. Materials: Before you go to town with your favorite pair of shoes and a can of protection spray, it is crucial to see whether said spray is appropriate for use on the material your shoes are made of. This will save you from a lot of regrets, as it will ensure you don’t ruin your footwear.

It's important to understand though that while sneaker protector sprays offer substantial protection, they can't completely protector your shoes. They won't provide absolute immunity against all stains or damages. Nevertheless, they represent a practical solution for prolonging your shoes' lifespan and preserving their fresh appearance for an extended period.
