Intensive Leather Care for Outdoor Footwear

Leather footwear used for hiking, trekking and alpine activities is exposed to moisture, abrasion, dirt, mud, snow and repeated drying. Without regular care, leather can become dry, stiff and more prone to cracking.

Fibertec Shoe Wax Eco helps nourish and protect leather by adding a durable wax layer. This supports long-term leather flexibility and helps maintain the function and appearance of outdoor footwear.

Highly Water-Repellent Protection

The wax is designed to provide a particularly strong water-repellent effect. This makes it useful for leather boots used in wet grass, rain, mud, snow and damp outdoor conditions.

Regular treatment helps water bead off the leather surface more effectively. For best results, footwear should be cleaned before application and the wax should be worked evenly into the leather.

Black Wax for Black Leather Footwear

This version is black and is especially suitable for black leather footwear. It can help refresh the appearance of black leather while providing care and protective impregnation.

Because coloured wax may change the appearance of leather, always test first on a small, inconspicuous area before treating the entire boot.

Suitable Applications

• Black leather hiking boots
• Black alpine boots
• Leather trekking footwear
• Outdoor leather shoes
