Boot & Shoe is a one-step, 
superhydrophobic, water repelling treatment designed to 
keep items dry longer. This crystal clear formula allows 
fabrics to breathe, while dramatically repelling water from 
the surface. NeverWet Outdoor Fabric preserves footwear 
against damaging moisture without changing the look or 
feel. 
NeverWet Boot & Shoe is ideal for use on leather, suede, 
Nubuck, canvas and more. It is suitable for use on work 
boots, tennis shoes, dress and casual shoes.

.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)                .
APPLICATION 
Do not shake. A test spray is recommended to obtain a 
feel for the spray pattern. Test in an inconspicuous area 
before application for colorfastness. NeverWet Boot & 
Shoe may enrich light material with a slightly darker tone. 
Rotate nozzle to “ON” position. Hold the spray bottle 8-12” 
from surface coating the entire boot or shoe until wet. Do 
not soak or allow to puddle. NOTE: If bubbles appear, 
lightly dab with a clean, lint-free rag. Re-apply seasonally 
or when needed. Do not use near open flame. 
DRY & RECOAT  
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF and 50% relative 
humidity and will vary depending of the fabric of the boot 
or shoe. The coating will be odorless when dry. Allow to 
dry for 24 hours before exposing to water. 
COVERAGE  
Coverage will vary depending on the fabric: 60 square feet 
on smooth/light fabrics to 20 square feet on 
textured/heavy fabrics. 
CLEAN-UP 
When finished spraying, wipe off tip before storing. 
Properly discard empty container.
