Intensive Leather Care for Outdoor Footwear

Leather footwear used outdoors is exposed to moisture, dirt, mud, snow, abrasion and repeated drying. Without proper care, leather can become dry, stiff and more prone to cracking.

Fibertec Shoe Wax Eco helps maintain leather flexibility and provides a protective wax layer that improves water repellency. This makes it especially useful for hiking boots, trekking footwear and alpine boots that need regular care after outdoor use.

Highly Water-Repellent Protection

The wax is designed to provide a particularly strong water-repellent effect. It helps water bead off treated leather surfaces instead of soaking in quickly.

For best results, footwear should be cleaned before application and the wax should be worked evenly into the leather, especially around seams, flex zones and other high-wear areas.

Transparent Wax for Leather Footwear

This version is transparent, making it suitable for many leather colours where a coloured wax is not required.

Even transparent wax may slightly darken or change the appearance of some leathers. Always test first on a small, inconspicuous area before treating the entire boot or shoe.
