How to apply EG-GÜ waterproofing spray to shoes

How to waterproof shoes correctly: guide and care tips

A suitable waterproofing treatment can help protect shoes from moisture and dirt adhesion. The material, a clean surface and complete drying are essential.

Clean dry shoes before waterproofing
Apply protector only to clean, dry and compatible materials.

1. Check the material

Identify smooth leather, nubuck, suede, textile, mesh, synthetic material or mixed surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and test on a discreet area.

2. Clean the shoes

Do not apply protector over dust, salt marks or visible dirt. Find suitable products in Shoe cleaning.

3. Let the shoes dry completely

Dry at room temperature and avoid direct heat.

4. Apply evenly

Use sprays outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. The Power Protector 250 ml is intended for selected leather, textile and climate-membrane materials. For many sneakers, use the Sneaker Power Protector 150 ml.
