[Seattle, WA, October 10, 2024]— Continuing its mission of keeping outdoor gear and apparel in use longer, Nikwax, the international leader in PFAS-free technical cleaners and waterproofing products, has released Footwear Refresh. The latest product in its Refresh line, Footwear Refresh is a high-powered deodorizing cleaner designed to freshen and prevent odor build-up in all non-waterproof footwear and insoles.
A build-up of sweat, body oils and dirt encourage the growth of bacteria, causing smelly footwear and decomposition of materials and stitching. Cleaning sandals, sports shoes/boots and footbeds with Footwear Refresh prevents bacterial growth, helping footwear last longer and smell better. Works great on running shoes, sandals, climbing shoes, ski boot liners, insoles, Crocs, etc. Like all Nikwax products, Footwear Refresh is PFAS-free, water-based and non-persistent. All bottles and lids are made from 100% recycled plastic and are recyclable. Offered in a 4.2 ounce bottle with a pump application, Footwear Refresh will be available in the US and Canada.
”Our focus at Nikwax has always been to ensure that the gear you invest in lasts a long time; whether it’s a rain jacket, tent, or hiking boots,” said Nikwax CEO, Brian Davidson. “Non-waterproof active footwear like sandals, running shoes, and climbing shoes can degrade prematurely due to odor and bacterial buildup and a general lack of care. Footwear Refresh helps clean, deodorize, and extend the life of active footwear. With the addition of Footwear Refresh to the Refresh line, we are pleased to have more solutions for our customers and retailers for a broader range of year-round activities.”

- Cleans effectively and eliminates persistent odors.
- Extends the life of footwear.
- Contains no PFAS, is water-based and non-persistent.
- Recommended for running and gym shoes, sandals, Birkenstocks, insoles, climbing shoes and all other non-waterproof footwear.
