Update March 2017 ~ we are still having occasional rains in the Bay Area, so last night before venturing out, I did a quick re coating of my new used Blundstone leather Aussie boots. The waterproofing creams works in so well, and provides such good protection against water, all while providing a great looking finish to the leather. Still consider this to be the most superior product that I've ever used to protect leather, making it impervious to water, while enhancing the preservation of the leather goods themselves.
The trick with waterproofing leather is not to soften or weaken the leather so the boot, shoe, belt, glove, holster, portfolio, purse or harness, retains its color, shape, strength, and support. For years the gold standard was Snow Seal, a bees' wax based treatment that’s still available and effective.
However Nikwax is just better. Nikwax applies a little less messy, much faster, with no "melting in" time, almost no drying time. Nikwax dries harder, and lasts longer. While it looks fine with nothing more than hand application, once completely dry it takes a nice sheen with a shoe brush, and you can get a high polish if you finish over it with a paste shoe wax. Compared to Snow Seal, very thin coats are all you need with Nikwax, the carriers and polymers in the formula wick it into the leather very efficiently and are really tough.
I've only used it on smooth or rough out leather, it does smooth the rough out over time though not as much as Snow Seal. They make a suede formula but I haven't tried it because suede is really only good for dry weather anyway.
It will darken the leather over time, so beware with light colors or tans. Of course a rain soaking will also darken and stain these so...
Overall: highly recommended, best solution I've used. I prefer the waxy tube or tin rubbed in by hand, over the liquid bottle and applicator brush, but that's just a personal preference. The suede formula is only available in the liquid.
My big tip: several thin coats are much, much better than one heavy coat.
This stuff is runnier than I expected. It's like a watered down lotion in texture (not that this is watered down). It keeps its consistency when applying, so that helps. It rubs in easily except around seams, which took some more work. A little goes a long ways. I've treated my boots twice and don't feel like I've used much of the tube. I squeezed some onto the middle of a leather area and used a cloth to spread it around and rub it in. It quickly disappears into the leather and leaves it moist and rich looking.
With all the snow in the midwest recently I really had the chance to test this stuff out for waterproofing. I shoveled snow for a couple hours in my boots and they didn't even look very wet. I definitely had no moisture issues inside the boots. When I came in they looked very clean. I went ahead and treated them again, but didn't feel I really needed to. I've used them in the snow a couple other times as well and had similarly great results.
I am happy with this cream in all aspects. The only negative is the runny consistency makes it harder to apply cleanly. I had some drips from the tube or where I had excess while applying. It cleans up easily and doesn't feel greasy, but a thicker cream would have felt a bit nicer.

Spedizione puntuale con quanto preventivato, prodotto arrivato perfetto quindi venditore assolutamente verificato. Qualora finisse ricomprerei lo stesso prodotto dallo stesso venditore.
The sponge on the top is meh, it falls off pretty much immediately.
I was sent the wrong size, however Amazon adjusted this for me.
Delivery was late but I have been assured by customer services ( prompt and helpful) that this was down to the courier.
