Palc Outdoor Wax – Waterproofing Wax for Oiled Leather 50ml

Description

Walking boots and outdoor shoes take a real battering from mud, rain and rough ground, so they deserve proper care – and the Palc Outdoor Wax is made for exactly that. This rich wax is formulated for greased and oiled leather, nourishing it deeply while making it beautifully water repellent, so your boots are ready for whatever the British weather throws at them.

It is a real all-rounder for outdoor footwear. As well as waterproofing, it polishes your shoes, keeps the colour looking good and helps the leather stay supple so it does not dry out and crack. This colourless 50ml tin can be used on all colours of leather, and it comes with a handy dispensing sponge built in, so application is clean and easy. One sniff when you open the tin and you can tell it is the good stuff.

Why choose the Palc Outdoor Wax?

• Made for oiled leather. Purpose-built for the greased and oiled leathers used in walking and mountaineering boots.
• Waterproofs and nourishes. It repels water while feeding the leather to keep it healthy and supple.
• Prevents drying and cracking. Regular waxing stops the leather from drying out over hard seasons of use.
• Colourless and versatile. Safe to use on any colour of leather.
• Built-in sponge. The handy dispensing sponge makes application clean and fuss-free.

How to use the Palc Outdoor Wax

1. Clean off all mud and dirt and let the boots dry.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of wax with the built-in sponge, working it into the leather.
3. Pay extra attention to seams and flex points where water tends to get in.
4. Leave the wax to soak in and dry.
5. Buff lightly, and build a second layer for boots that face heavy, wet use.

Haico’s tip: start with a little and build up in thin layers – overwaxing can actually make leather stiff. And keep this one for smooth, oiled leather only: waxes are not suitable for suede or nubuck, as they will stain the nap and spoil the texture.

Good to know

Leather boots are only truly waterproof when the leather itself is fed and conditioned. Dry leather cracks, and cracks let water straight in, no matter how good your boots were when new. Regular waxing keeps the fibres supple and the surface repellent, which is exactly why serious walkers treat looking after their boots as part of their kit – not an afterthought once the damage is done.

Frequently asked questions

Will it darken my leather?
It is colourless, but as with any wax on oiled leather it can slightly deepen the tone when applied. Test on a hidden area first if you are unsure.

How often should I wax my boots?
For regular walkers, a treatment every few outings keeps the water repellency and condition topped up. Always re-wax after a thorough clean.

Can I use it on my suede hiking boots?
No – wax will stain suede and nubuck and change the texture. For those, use a dedicated suede protector spray instead.

Does it leave a shine?
It gives a soft, natural sheen rather than a high gloss. If you prefer a more polished look on your boots, simply buff them up a little more once the wax has dried.
