Why breathability depends on water repellency…

Breathable waterproof footwear is most likely to become sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer nubuck or suede absorbs water, the breathability of the footwear is reduced. Hence, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your footwear must be kept up to ensure comfort. It will eventually wear off and will need renewing with Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof™.

Waterproof footwear needs to be breathable…

When active and wearing footwear, your socks wick moisture away from your feet, keeping them dry. However, if your footwear absorbs water and becomes saturated, its breathability is compromised. Moisture vapour cannot escape through the material, leaving your feet feeling clammy and wet. Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof™ adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), preventing water absorption while preserving breathability, thus keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
