Dsc04336 Smaller

Active footwear, like running shoes, gym shoes, and other sports shoes (such as cleats), get a lot of use and take quite a beating. Over time, sweat and dirt can cause bacteria to grow which leads to unpleasant odors. While we rely on our footwear for all types of activities, they are often the most neglected in terms of maintenance (we clean our clothes regularly, but not our shoes). Nikwax’s newest product, Footwear Refresh, is your solution for cleaning and deodorizing all active footwear.

Why Clean and Deodorize Footwear?

Active footwear can develop unpleasant odors over time due to sweat and bacteria. Footwear Refresh eliminates these odors, leaving your shoes smelling fresh and clean. Bacteria left untreated in footwear can lead to other issues such as athlete’s foot. Footwear Refresh helps extend the life of your favorite footwear by removing residues that can cause materials to break down pre-maturely. No one wants to throw out a pair of shoes that they just broke in!
