Unlike aerosol products, Nikwax's water-based products have a higher concentration of waterproofing agents, up to 5 times more. They do not require heat to activate water repellency, making them suitable for garments that cannot be tumble-dried. Nikwax products prolong the life of gear and keep users dry and comfortable in wet weather.
At Urban Kit Supply, we recommend using Nikwax with barefoot shoes, and Lems Shoes also recommend it.
