This stuff works really well and it very easy to use. I used it to scrub and clean some leather boots before adding in the Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather. I think Nikwax recently updated the scrub applicator that is on the Footwear Cleaning Gel bottle. You just flip the bottle upside down and scrub away! It's amazing how fast the suds will start to remove all the mud and oils. Other than some scuffs that I previously had in the boots, the leather looked as good as it could get after I finished cleaning. After applying the Waterproofing Wax for Leather, it helped fill in and smooth out some of the scuffs. I will continue to use this on all my footwear that needs cleaned!

This product works great! It is EASY to use. My shoes and hiking boots look cleaner. The Cleaning Gel applicator is easy to use and safe. I use it to clean my Merrell MOAB WaterProof boots after each hike. I also use it to clean my other shoes. It works great.

I just used this on the La Sportiva boots I purchased two days ago. The material I used it on now has a faded white appearance, leaving an ugly stain next to the normal dark grey leather. I’ve rinsed the boots off a couple of times to no avail. Literally waited years to purchase these boots
