It is impossible to overestimate the importance of water-repellent impregnation. It not only allows you to extend the service life of your shoes, but at the same time preserves their appearance. We'll talk about the best impregnation today.
Rating of the best impregnations for shoes
When choosing a shoe polish, you should pay attention not only to the price, but also to the composition and manufacturer. The composition will be different for different materials. Suede is suitable for a substance containing fluorocarbon resin. For skin, silicone-containing products are preferable.
Important! Of course, there are universal aerosols or creams for all types of materials, however, experts recommend using narrowly targeted products, as they are more effective and less harmful to the material itself.
For leather shoes
Among the leather impregnations, Salton, Salamander Universal SMS and SILVER PREMIUM should be highlighted. Let's take a closer look at them.
Firm Salton provides a first-class product.It is universal, suitable for almost all surfaces except nubuck. The advantages include the large volume (360 ml) and the cumulative effect. In other words, each re-application will require much less material than the previous one.
Salamander Universal SMS famous for German quality. One of the main advantages of this product is its durability (up to 15 days) and versatility. However, there is also a significant drawback: the substance in the composition is dangerous for breathing, so you should be careful when using this product.
SILVER PREMIUM - the cheapest remedy among those presented. It is colorless and suitable for any surface. There is also a special brush on the lid, which facilitates the process of applying the substance. The only drawback may be the rather pungent odor that accompanies applying the spray to the material.
For suede shoes
Among the impregnations for suede shoes, the following companies should be highlighted first: Collonil, Salamander, Drywall and Woly Sport. Now let's talk about everything in order.
Collonil produces products both in the form of sprays and creams. Their mixture protects the material not only from moisture, but also from small particles, for example, various salts or reagents. This effect was achieved due to the ability to “envelop” the surface and cover it with a layer of durable, transparent film.
Universal aerosols Salamander Suitable for both shoes (both suede and leather), and for clothing and accessories. They are often used to treat bags or umbrellas to increase their service life.
Impregnations Drywall characterized by a long period of influence. Having impregnated the surface with a similar substance, you don’t have to worry about the material for a month.
Among the entire list one can single out the company Woly Sport. They produce universal impregnations, but at the same time they have the most tolerant prices.
How to properly treat shoes with water-repellent impregnation
Many people often misuse shoe impregnation, accusing it of being ineffective. That's why it makes sense to give a couple of tips regarding the use of impregnations.
Before treatment, shoes should be cleaned and dried. Suede needs to be combed.
Apply in an even layer, carefully treating seams and bends. They are the most “problematic”.
The aerosol sprayer should be kept at a distance of 15–20 cm from the surface.
Many of the impregnations may contain chemicals, so it is recommended to process shoes in the fresh air.
The product should be applied regularly, as many have a “accumulation effect”.
