Anyone tried suede/leather protectors such as nikwax....maybe they would work if you put them on from new....i think most of them are clear aswell so no worries on messing colours up etc...would need to read the label though to make sure....thoughts???

never heard of nikwax.. i swear by Woly wet blocker.. spray it on all me sneaks when they come out the box. ive given some skates a double coating before, 2 days in a field in the rain and my feet were bone dry, also keeps the dirt off them

Nikwax can alter the appearance of the suede or nubuck. I use it but the suede does look slightly different after. If you drop a little water on most suede trainers youll notice they are impregnated with a coating to protect already. Good luck!!
