Red Wing Leather Protector

The Red Wing Leather Protector 98016 is a protective spray designed for use on all types of leather. It forms a breathable protective layer that helps shield shoes and boots from water, dirt, and stains, while allowing the leather to breathe.
The protection works by keeping unwanted elements on the surface of the leather, where they can then be easily wiped away.

Invisible protection that preserves the leather's appearance
Unlike conditioners or oils, Leather Protector is designed to protect the leather without significantly altering its appearance.
Notably, Red Wing specifies that the product does not darken the leather, making it an ideal solution for leathers where the original color and look need to be preserved.

Compatible with various leather types
Leather Protector can be used in the care routine for many Red Wing leathers, including: Oiled leathers / Smooth leathers / Roughout / Nubuck

For roughout and nubuck leathers, Red Wing recommends a light spray application to create a barrier against dirt and moisture while maintaining the leather's textured finish.

Instructions for use:
Thoroughly clean the shoes and remove any dirt.
Allow the leather to dry completely.
Shake the bottle before use.
Spray lightly and evenly at ...approximately 15 to 20 cm from the leather.
Use steady, sweeping motions to ensure even coverage.
Allow to dry completely before wearing the shoes.
Red Wing recommends a light application from a distance of approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches) from the leather.

Tip: Do not saturate the leather. Several light coats provide more uniform protection than a single heavy application.
