Oversized Items — $40 Flat Return Shipping Fee
Some bulky products (large tents, certain hard goods, oversized equipment, and similar) ship via oversized carriers and are flagged as Oversized Item on the product page before you complete your order. The flat $40 return shipping fee that applies to these items is disclosed at the time of ordering, so you'll know upfront if your item qualifies.
If you later choose to return the item, the $40 return shipping fee will be deducted from your refund or store credit when your return is processed. The returns portal will surface this fee for you again when you start the return, so there are no surprises.
If your oversized item arrived damaged, defective, or as a result of our error, the $40 fee is waived and return shipping is on us.

WaterBased softening and waterproofing conditioner for smooth leather footwear. Softens and waterproofs new full grain leather and restores suppleness to dried out leather.
Why comfort isn't just about dry feet. Footwear needs to provide support, but also needs to be soft and flexible to maintain comfort. During the manufacturing process leather undergoes a procedure called tanning. This process adds tanning agents to maintain the structure of the leather, enabling it to keep its shape and provide support. Leather is also lubricated to increase suppleness and reduce friction between its fibers. When leather absorbs water, tanning agents and lubricants are lost, which causes the leather to become dry, stiff and prone to splitting. Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ will nourish leather with tanning agents and lubricants to keep it in top condition.
- Leather requires regular maintenance to perform at its best. Leather is hardwearing, breathable and provides a high level of support, making it an ideal material for footwear construction. If leather becomes wet its breathability will be reduced, leading to wet feet from condensation. Tanning agents and lubricants can be leeched out by water, causing leather to become dry, stiff and prone to splitting. Therefore, it is important to condition leather by replenishing tanning agents and lubricants, as well as maintaining Durable Water Repellency (DWR).
- Breathable waterproof footwear is for active, outdoor people. Anyone who is active outside in damp or wet conditions will benefit from breathable waterproof footwear. Whether you’re a mountaineer or dog walker, or you work outside as a farmer or surveyor, you will need good footwear.
Use Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ on new or old boots. If you have new smooth leather boots, Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ can be used to break them in without over-softening and also add Durable Water Repellency (DWR). It should also be used periodically to maintain your smooth leather footwear; nourishing the leather by replacing tanning agents and lubricants, stopping it from becoming dry and stiff. Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ can also be used to restore suppleness to dried out leather and prolong the useful life of footwear.
- Old fashioned conventional leather softening products can damage your boots. Traditional leather conditioning products may be made with animal fats and therefore encourage microbial growth, which can affect the stitching on your boots and also encourage leather to rot! Additionally, these traditional leather conditioning products are easily over applied and this can damage the support of your footwear. It is very difficult to over apply Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ because it is a WaterBased product and stops being absorbed once the footwear is fully treated.
- Make use of the Nikwax range for best results. You don’t need to use Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ every time your footwear starts to wet out. Cleaning with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™ can revitalise Durable Water Repellency (DWR). If this is not effective then use Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather™ for routine DWR maintenance. Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ should be used 1-2 times a year to nourish leather without over-softening.
How Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ prolongs the usable life of leather footwear. The WaterBased formulation can be used on wet or dry leather. It is absorbed into the leather where it is needed most and will not over-soften. Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ has been specifically designed and optimized for breathable waterproof smooth leather footwear. It conditions leather by replenishing tanning agents and lubricants, and can be used to either break in new leather or revitalize dried and cracked leather. Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ also adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to smooth leather, maintaining breathability. It is non-flammable, contains no harmful solvents and is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and fluorocarbons.
- Like all Nikwax products, Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ is safe to use. Nikwax takes great care to minimize the effect of Nikwax products on the environment and on you, the consumer. Nikwax conditioning and waterproofing products are WaterBased, non-aerosol, non-flammable, non-hazardous and environmentally friendly. They contain no harmful solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and are completely free of fluorocarbons (which have been shown to be persistent in the environment and have been associated with serious health issues).
- People who use Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ say that it does the job. Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™ is the product of choice of professional Outdoor trainers. To find out more about people who are using Nikwax Conditioner for Leather™, and other Nikwax products, take a look at our testimonials page (coming soon).

Always allow footwear to dry naturally.
