How to Use Footwear Conditioner

💡 Prep Tip:

For best results, clean your shoes first with our Footwear Cleaner to remove dirt and debris. This ensures the conditioner absorbs evenly and works effectively.

1️⃣ Wipe off any dirt or dust using a clean cloth.

2️⃣ Shake the bottle well.

3️⃣ Apply the cream onto a cloth and spread it evenly over the shoe surface.

4️⃣ Let it absorb for about 5 minutes.

5️⃣ Buff gently with a soft polishing cloth to finish.

➡️ The result?

✅ A hydrated, protected, and waterproofed surface that’s ready to hit the trail again.

💡 Extra-waterproofing

If your shoes need to be ready for high exposure to nature's elements we recommend using the Footwear Protector.

⏱️ When Should You Use It?

Use Footwear Conditioner after every deep cleaning or whenever your leather feels dry or exposed. It's especially helpful during the rainy season or after intense wear in harsh environments.
