Care & CoolMaximum Protection for Your Suede and Nubuck (8 oz). Waterproofing, Dust and Stain Repellent Formula for your Shoes, Boots, Bags and Jackets. Setting the Standards Since 1976.

Used this on a light beige/taupe man's real suede jacket. This is exactly what it says it is. Kept the spray about six inches from jacket and gave it two light coats with an hour in between. My greatest concern was that it would change the color of the jacket. There is no difference in color or feel. Highly recommend this product.

This product may cost a bit more than others but it’s well worth it. I just purchased a very expensive pair of walking shoes which has suede sides. This product will effectively protect them and last. I’m very pleased with it.

Recently picked up a pair of suede chukka boots and needed a suede protector to apply. Found this one available on overnight delivery and ordered it. Application was easy and two days later I put it to the test when the boots were worn in the rain. Everything beaded up and the shoes were not affected. Would highly recommend if you need to protect your suede products.

As always excellent. The company never lets you down. Excellent products. I recommend.

Good product, dries clear, no color change on leather, water beads up.

The ‘Care & Cool Suede and Nubuck Protector’ came as an 8 ounce plastic bottle with a pump spray top (not aerosol). The box indicates instructions for use, and informs that the product is ‘Formulated in Reno, Nevada and produced in Turkey’. I like that the bottle is not aerosol; however, I think using a pump spray is a bit more difficult to be precise and neat during application. In addition, the pump spray on my bottle frequently dripped and resulted in protector on my hand. As with most similar products, applying two light coats is probably easier than applying a single heavy coat, especially with a pump spray.I applied the product to a single red suede athletic shoe (new in box, never worn). I do think the treated shoe is a slight shade darker when compared to the untreated shoe; however, once both shoes are treated there will be no difference of course. (There is no discoloration, just a very slight darkening.) The box definitely mentions that you should test a hidden area before applying to any item, and that is wise advice. The protector did not adversely affect other parts of the shoe, such as the rubber sole or smooth leather tongue.The box and the bottle do not mention how often to reapply this product, but the Care & Cool website suggests every two to three months in the FAQ section.

I was hesitant to try something because of all the products I checked, reviews were so mixed for them. I bought my first pair of uggs, they’re more sneaker like than the typical boots that first came out. I sprayed a test spray into the air away from the boots to make sure the sprayer wasn’t clogged before EACH coat I did. I tested a spot first on the tongue because if it stained, the laces would hide it anyways and it worked well. So I did the full shoes. I did about 8 coats in total over several days. I would do 1 coat, about 8 inches away, very light and not repeating sprays in the same area, around the whole shoe; put it off to the side to dry for several hours and then did the other. There is one tiny spot that has two very tiny droplet marks/stains, but knowing I took all the precautions I could, I wasn’t upset over it. When all was said and done, I tested it by wetting my finger and letting the water drip onto the shoe, and it did not soak in, it rolled off. Haven’t taken them out into winter/rain conditions yet but I feel like for general expectations, this works. It is a shoe after all, I wouldn’t expect perfection from any one product.
