    The best shoe care stuff ever!!! I've used this stuff for years on my hiking boots. Works great, last long, easy to use, environmentally sound. Plus, they have a whole bunch of other products...you can Nikwax just about anything you need waterproofed!

    Works pretty well - I purchased this to clean a nubuck leather purse and it worked pretty well. Heavily stained areas didn't come completely out, but the product was worth purchasing and made my purse look much better than before.

    Great cleaning product for Suede and Nubuck - This gel was easy to use and it worked great. I used it on my Ecco Extreme Mary Janes and they looked new again!

    Finally, a product that works! Just when I was getting ready to throw out all my suede shoes, I found this product. The cleaner did a much better job of getting scuffs and marks (even on my white Mephistos) out of suede/nubuck than the dry cleaning stuff I used to use and the sealer gave them a new sheen.

    Easy To Use New Product - This set of products made in England is much easier to use (no spray in the atmosphere to set off allergies) and the spot cleaner removed spots from an older pair of nubucks that were becoming unsightly. Although expensive, it appears to cover numerous pairs of shoes. I waterproofed two pairs for my husband and myself and barely made a dent in its capacity.

    I bought this product thinking that it was a spray. It's not. It's a sponge on protectant that is actually very hard to apply and a bit messy--especially on slouch boots. But it does seem to work pretty well. I'm a little disappointed that Zappos doesn't have a bigger selection of shoe care products. I would recommend anything by Penguin shoe care products--much better.

    Fine product - Works, easy to clean after and to apply, ecological, no fumes or horrible smells. A little expensive. The cleaning gel was not sealed when received.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Meindl boots and shoes, and socks.

    Not ideal for nubuck sandals - Possibly these products are good if you have a lot of area to clean, but all I wanted to do was spot clean some fairly thin strapped sandals and weatherproof them. The tip is kinda bulky for spot cleaning and as far as weatherproofing, I don't understand why the instructions say to clean the leather with a damp cloth before proofing them. It made me very uncomfortable to be putting water on my shoes. Everything is okay, I guess, but I got one spot on them that wasn't there before. I don't exactly know how, but I think it was created from either the product or sometime during the damp cloth wiping that is required for use of both products.

    GAVE A 2nd LIFE TO MY SHOES - After getting caught in a torrential storm and tromping through mud in my brand new $325 Mephisto "Lannys", I thought they were destined for the trash heap... Soooo, I bought this product as a last resort... My "Lannys" now look like new... I also like that it's not a spray product for a myriad of reasons (environment friendly, non-allergic, easier to use, etc., etc...)

    Effective product - I was looking for a suede cleaning product, and since I love shopping at Zappos, I went on a live chat. The agent did not disappoint, he immediately recommended the product he thought was the best. He was right. It was easy to use and did clean off all the stains and black marks from my puma shoes. Very effective product and excellent service by Zappos.

    Rather have a spray - This item really does not clean. It just makes the suede darker. Plus, it’s too hard to apply the water repellent with the sponge evenly. A spray works so much better. I finally gave up and got the spray protector from the store. A huge disappointment.
