Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel

I use a lot of Nikwax products and overall, I am pleased with their performance. This one does what it is supposed to. It strips off the the dirt without damaging my boots. I've noticed the difference between the boots on which I've used this product verses the boots I've used antibacterial dishsoap (a big NO NO!)

I tried cleaning some shoes without the cleaning gel, and I was able to get heavy dirt off. Then I tried the gel, and found out how much more dirt I could get out with it. It worked much better than I expected and am really impressed. Check out the photo I uploaded to see a before-n-after photo as I was cleaning a pair of trail runners.

I gave my Scarpa Mont Blanc its' first bath.

The cleaning involved lots of desert sand, two big blobs of mac and cheese on the right boot, and a little bit of Bells Canyon mud around the outer sole. The sponge and brush did an excellent job at applying and scrubbing the boot surface.

The boots look practically brand new again!

This cleaner works really well and is very easy to use. I had a pair of white leather shoes that I had to wear biking a few times before I got my new biking shoes. The inside heel of each shoe was almost completely black. After just getting the shoe damp and rubbing the footwear cleaning gel via the rough sponge applicator tip on the bottle, almost all of the black completely disappeared. For how little this costs compared to how much you spend on new shoes, this is definitely worth the money in order to rejuvenate your old pair of kicks.
