Shoe Protection

Protection is something you do before your shoes get dirty or wet. Here you’ll find waterproofing spray against water and dirt, a sole sealer and crease guards for the toe box. Clean first? See cleaners and brushes.


Which waterproofing spray for shoes to choose

A waterproofing spray for shoes lays a breathable layer over the material, so water and dirt bead off. Jason Markk Repel is PFAS-free and comes in a pump sprayer. Refill it with the Repel Refill. The Collonil Carbon MaxX Protector is a classic aerosol. Rather avoid propellant? Then there's the Carbon Lab Protecting Spray. For large collections there are 5-packs of Repel and the Protector.

Soles and creases

Waterproofing spray protects the upper. For the sole edge there's the Midsole Sealer, which stops dirt soaking deep into the rubber. Against creases in the toe box, use crease guards in black or white. When your shoes are in the cupboard, shoe trees keep them in shape.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I waterproof?

After every deep clean and more often if you wear your shoes a lot in the rain. Cleaning removes part of the protection.

Will the colour of my shoes change?

No, the sprays dry colourless. If in doubt, test on a hidden spot first.

Does waterproofing spray work on suede?

Yes. All sprays in this category suit suede and nubuck, as well as smooth leather, canvas and mesh.
