Waterproofing spray that protects every step
At Springyard, you’ll find waterproofing sprays that not only protect, but also extend the lifespan of your shoes, accessories and outerwear. Our products are easy to use and developed for most materials – so you can always find the right protection for your favourites. When the material is treated, it becomes more resistant. The effect is invisible, but the difference is significant. It extends the life of your products so they stay fresh and functional for longer.
Why waterproofing spray makes a difference
A waterproofing spray creates a protective layer that repels moisture and dirt. With waterproofed shoes, you avoid stubborn stains, cleaning becomes quicker and the shoes feel dry and comfortable even when the weather changes. In short – it helps keep your shoes comfortable and looking good for longer.

- Leather: Provides protection without drying out the material.
- Suede & nubuck: Good protection against stains and salt marks.
- Textile & synthetic: Makes sneakers and training shoes resistant to rain and everyday dirt.
- Functional materials: Protects the membrane without affecting breathability.

How to use waterproofing spray – step by step
- Brush away dust and dirt. Use cleaner for tougher stains.
- Spray an even layer onto a dry or slightly damp surface, from approximately 30 cm away.
- Apply generously with waterproofing spray.
- Wipe away excess liquid.
- Allow to air dry – best results are achieved after 24 hours.
Note: Waterproofing needs to be reapplied regularly for best effect and long-lasting protection.
This routine only takes a few minutes but provides long-lasting protection that makes everyday life easier.
PFAS-free waterproofing
Traditional waterproofing products often contained fluorocarbons that were harmful to nature. All our waterproofing sprays are free from PFAS and fluorocarbons and developed with sustainability in focus. Order easily online and receive sustainable protection that is just as effective as it is long-lasting. This means you can protect your shoes, accessories and outerwear responsibly – without compromising on effectiveness or results.
Waterproofing all year round
Different seasons place different demands on shoes and clothing. During spring and summer, it’s about protecting against dirt, dust and salt and gravel residue that wear down the material – but also against sudden rain showers on lighter materials that are not as weather-resistant. During autumn and winter, the strain increases with changing weather, mud and persistent rain. Once winter arrives, it is mainly salt, slush and snow that cause the most wear, making regular waterproofing essential to maintain both function and appearance.
Common mistakes to avoid
Many people use waterproofing spray incorrectly. The most common mistake is spraying too close, which can result in uneven coverage. Another mistake is treating dirty shoes, which prevents the protection from adhering properly. Some people also forget to repeat the treatment regularly – a one-time application is not enough for long-lasting protection. By following the instructions and giving the materials the right conditions, you’ll achieve the best results.

Waterproofing and sustainable consumption
Taking care of shoes and clothing is more than just aesthetics – it’s a sustainable choice. When you extend the lifespan of your shoes and garments, you contribute to more sustainable consumption, reduce climate impact and at the same time make a smart choice for your wallet. Waterproofing is a small routine that makes a big difference over time.
Waterproofing for more than shoes
A waterproofing spray is not only for shoes – it also works on other textiles and accessories. By treating backpacks, bags, gloves and jackets with waterproofing, you provide more durable protection against both rain and dirt. This is especially valuable for outdoor equipment where functionality is crucial, but also for everyday accessories such as bags and caps that are often exposed to daily wear.
A waterproofing spray is a small effort that delivers great results. By protecting your shoes and clothing against moisture, dirt and stains, you extend their lifespan, reduce the need for new purchases and make a more sustainable choice. With Springyard’s waterproofing sprays, you get reliable protection that is effective, durable and adapted for all materials.
