Restore or Create Water Repellency for Footwear
-
-
Step 1:
Remove laces. Eliminate dirt and trail hardened grime with ReviveX® Boot Cleaner and air dry.
-
Step 2:
Apply ReviveX® Nubuck, Suede and Fabric Water Repellent to clean, dry footwear. Liberally treat the tops and sides of the toe area, especially where the boot bends.

For All Leather Boots
To prepare footwear for the wettest, most abrasive situations such as step kicking in snow, ice climbing or mixed climbing, use a heavy duty gel waterproofing formula such as ReviveX® Leather Gel. Apply gel to a clean cloth, then buff into the leather.
-
NOTE:
Gel water repellent treatments will darken leather, giving footwear a rich, traditional outdoor look. Many climbers like this darker look. Make sure you like it before you apply ReviveX Leather Gel.
