Waterproofing Products.

Waterproofing products in spray or can form to protect all your shoes and boots. They can be applied to all suede, suede calf and nubuck leather materials.

They can also be applied to fabric, synthetic and sneaker shoes. Waterproofing sprays can be applied to the entire shoe, including the laces.

We recommend that you use natural resin-based leather waterproofing products such as Monsieur Chaussure.
The waterproofing sprays shown offer effective protection.

Waterproofing for smooth leather is a beeswax-based polishing paste. It offers protection that's as effective and invisible as a spray-on waterproofing treatment.
Conventional waterproofing sprays will clog the pores of the leather. They can also leave white halos. This obstruction can lead to cracking over time.

Protect from the rain

Waterproofing is recommended to protect your shoes from damage caused by bad weather. Waterproofing sprays or waterproofing sprays for your shoes protect against bad weather, snow and water.

By preventing water from coming into contact with the material, this slows down wear on the shoes. As a result, they last longer. They are used at the end of maintenance to apply a protective layer to clean shoes. Waterproofing products can only be applied to shoes that have been cleaned and renovated. It is advisable to use them at the end of a renovation to extend their life. They can also be applied directly after the purchase of a new pair of shoes.
After applying the waterproofing spray, it is advisable to wait a few minutes. A drying time is required for the protective film to form. The waterproofing formulas on offer are highly protective. The protective layer applied lasts for a long time, with no need for touch-ups.

The protective layer allows water to bead up on the shoe and not impregnate it. Waterproofing your shoes therefore helps to prevent the appearance of stains caused by dampness.

This is why the recommended frequency of application varies depending on where you live and how often you wear your shoes. As a general rule, our team recommends that you apply the product after each cleaning, preferably every month.

You can apply a water-repellent product between cleanings. This is especially advisable in the autumn when it rains.

Protecting against dirt

Waterproofing sprays for suede shoes and trainers are essential for preserving their original appearance. The waterproofing spray leaves a protective film to protect against stains and external damage. The anti-stain film is also effective against everyday mishaps. The protective film is particularly effective against dirt and dust.

It prevents dirt in all its forms from penetrating leather, suede or text. It creates an impenetrable protective barrier to stains. You can walk on muddy ground, cross puddles or face a sudden downpour. Your shoes remain protected from dirt and moisture. This barrier makes future maintenance easier.

What's more, they can create a protective barrier. This prevents dirt, oil and other substances from accumulating. In this way, the cleanliness and aesthetic appearance of the shoes are maintained.

Keeping the original look

Suede shoes and trainers are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal. Dirt and stains can, however, alter their appearance and value.

By using suede waterproofers, you not only preserve the integrity of the material, but you also maintain the original appearance of your shoes. Suede waterproofers act as an invisible protective barrier.
They prevent dirt from becoming embedded in the suede fibres or attaching to the fabric of the trainers. The bottles apply just the right amount of product with each squeeze. So you can space out your maintenance.

So you can keep your shoes clean for longer. The sprays are transparent, so they won't alter the colour of your shoes. Waterproofing sprays are imperceptible on shoes, because they leave no sticky or shiny finish. They do not alter the feel of the materials. Your shoes will retain their original softness and shine.

Monsieur Chaussure's advice

All shoe waterproofers can be used on shoes that have been cleaned with shoe cleaners.

In addition, waterproofing sprays should be used in a well-ventilated room away from sources of heat. The waterproofing spray is sprayed at least 20 cm to 30 cm from the pair of shoes. Drying time is at least one hour.
