I have some black suede boots. I sprayed them with two coats of waterproofing spray (the type you buy in the shoe store). Will it be safe to wear them in the rain now or should I still try to avoid getting them wet?

Or would it be better to buy the waterproofing spray made by uggs for their shoes?

but I need to be able to waterproof them because it snows or rains here like 6 months of the year. What type of waterproofing is best for wool?

Is faux leather waterproof? I want shoes to keep my feet dry on rainy days that I can wear any other day of the year… so I hope I can buy faux leather boots and wear them in the rain without them getting destroyed… is this possible? Or do I need to buy the waterproofing stuff?
Thanks in advance

Waterproofing kits (for shoes or leather) are usually hydrocarbon based liquids which when applied to a material help prevent water damage. One example is: “Canvak, perfect for heavy duty cotton canvas. It is a petroleum based water repellency treatment”. On a molecular level explain why it is correct or incorrect to state that “Canvak repels water.”

I’ve made myself a belt and the color is pretty matte. I know shoe polish could shine it up, but I don’t know if that would be a good thing to put on a belt.

Would it come off on my clothing?

Would it be able to keep the leather dye from coming off onto my clothing?

Should I just use a wax meant for waterproofing leather shoes?

I’m think of waterproofing my shoes on account of all the bloody snow.
Jeo: I doubt it!
no

I just got some tall leather boots, and I want to know what the best way is to waterproof them. I’m going to be walking around in the rain a lot, maybe through puddles. But I don’t want to ruin how they look either. They’re black leather.

Also, I can’t wait for them to dry — I need to be able to wear them days in a row, even if it’s raining…

Do you have experience waterproofing leather shoes? Please tell me all you can!!
Especially important– I really to know how well waterproofing will actually work. My grandma said that when she used to try to waterproof them, they always ended up getting wet and you had to let them dry before you could wear them again… but that was back in the day, so maybe things have changed.

what will happen if i don’t? is there any reason I shouldn’t buy that waterproofing stuff usually sold next to the shoelaces and shoe polish? i want them to stay nice, but i don’t want to sacrifice breathability which is why I chose a natural "fiber" to begin with.
what happens if they get wet? how do they get ruined? and will my feet be able to breathe if I apply the waterproofing spray?

i just got a new pair of uggs and i got this waterproofing spray (SOFSOLE Waterproofing spray).
the bottle of the spray says it can be used on any type of shoes/ material in general as long as its not vinyl or patent leather.
so is it ok to use this on uggs?? and the bottle doesnt say how often i should use it. it just says "reuse when protection wears off over time" and i dont know how long they mean. please help!

girlfriend just bought some golf shoes. they have synthetic uppers. synthetic leather is not waterproof. I have cream for waterproofing leather shoes. will it work the same for synthetic leather, or is there a different product out there?

Hi!

I’m going to Japan in February and March, and I’m spending a few days in Sapporo, I know it will be snowing, so I was wondering what kind of shoes I should be wearing.

I don’t want to buy snow boots because they are so expensive for such a short time.

I’ve been told that rain boots are not warm enough, and that Ugg boots are not waterproof, even with waterproofing spray, so what should I do? Can i rent snow boots in Sapporo?

Thanks for your help!
