The product worked excellently, I bought it again. It doesn't leave marks, dries without stains, and after drying it gives a strong hydrophobic effect. I most often use it on LOWA shoes with Gore-Tex, where it's important not to damage the material and to maintain its breathability. Very easy to apply, absorbs quickly, and even during rain or in muddy conditions it effectively protects the footwear. In my opinion, it is a professional care product that I can confidently recommend both for trekking and military boots.

Overall, this impregnant is priced a bit worse than, for example, the Hadwao impregnant. I don't really see any difference between these impregnants. However, this impregnant is dedicated to be used together with the shoe care kit. Besides, it also has a nice scent :)
-
I purchased the impregnation agent for LOWA GTX MK2 boots as recommended by the manufacturer. After use, the product should be rubbed into the leather and then the boots need to be allowed to dry. It works.
-
I haven't had a chance to use this product on shoes yet, but I intend to when they need cleaning. However, I used the waterproofing spray on my rain jacket – today, I put a towel inside it and poured water over it from a garden hose for a few minutes. Previously, this kind of test always failed before I used the waterproofing spray, but now everything went well.
-
I impregnated my Lowa shoes as well as other ones that were at hand, and it works for all of them. Even after several rains, they still don't let water in. It's very 'liquid', so it's best to lay out a sheet or spray over a sink.
-
I used the Impregnate on brand new shoes. The product is easy to apply. The sprayer creates a mist, which even smells nice so there is no need to air out the room right away. The manufacturer guarantees that it is water-soluble. It is important to let it dry for 24 hours.
-
I recommend the purchase, it applies quickly, although the atomizer could be a bit better. You have to get used to spraying from a greater distance to create a "mist", then it settles well on the shoe. If you apply it too close, it runs down the shoe in a stream. It's worth doing this at the junction with the sole, then it penetrates well. The mist alone is not enough there, and that's where the biggest leaks might be (gluing, seams, connection).
-
Lowa Water Stop ECO impregnator - 200 ml is perfect for both city shoes and military boots. It absorbs nicely and leaves no traces. It sprays great and the bottle is easy to hold.
-
I assumed that since I have Lowa shoes, the best impregnation would be from the same company. The description states that it is intended for shoes, so that convinced me because most other products are for everything, which I guess means for nothing.
-
Very comfortable shoes. They are light and pleasant to walk in. They seem solid. After a season of use, I think the sole will still last, but it could be better. Extremely comfortable to wear, they dry quickly.
-
Excellent impregnator, suitable for all types of shoes, both Lowa brand and others, works great on Gore-Tex membranes as well as other membranes. Very effective and solid impregnation, with no drawbacks – I can recommend it with a clear conscience.
-
Great product for protecting leather shoes and those made with Gore-Tex. It doesn't have a solvent odor, and the water-based product turned out to be effective.
-
The impregnator does its job – after spraying, water does not soak into the shoe. I give it 5 stars. If you're still hesitating, know that it's worth buying. I recommend this impregnator.
-
Surprisingly effective, nothing actually sticks, and the shoes don't soak up water. Instead of absorbing, water forms droplets on the shoe that don't penetrate. Also, very importantly, the shoe remains soft to the touch; there's no varnish-like effect. It doesn't discolor the shoe. If you're hesitating, just go ahead and buy it! :)

Total disappointment. I bought this waterproofing spray and treated two pairs of shoes with it: my brand new Lowa Zephyr GTX Low MK2 and my wife’s several-month-old Lowa Zephyr GTX Mid MK2. Applied as per instructions. My wife’s shoes were washed with clean water, dried, brushed, and vacuumed with compressed air. After waterproofing, both pairs dried for over two days at room temperature. The first use—my low shoes—had barely any contact with drizzle. In this moment, I noticed water beading up on the surface (like on an oily surface), which some people mentioned in reviews, but the shoes didn’t contact terrain/grass or anything that could bring more water onto the surface. The first real test was yesterday, when my wife and I went for a walk with the dogs: Vistula meadows, wastelands, fields, flood banks etc., but mostly walking along wheel tracks and in places with grass... The walk lasted ~40 minutes, drizzled maybe 2×5 minutes. Mostly, the shoes contacted water on the grass, and we didn't plow through it but occasionally stepped on the wet grass to avoid puddles. And then I was shocked—after 10 minutes, both pairs’ surfaces were completely soaked! Like regular cloth shoes! :( And I repeat... after 10 minutes of occasional contact with wet grass! Of course, after returning, both our feet were wet wherever the uppers soaked through. And this is supposed to be waterproofing? I’ll add that we never had wet feet in these conditions with Salomon GTX shoes, and those weren't even waterproofed! So not only does this product not work, but the GTX in shoes from the same brand as the spray also seems useless in my opinion. :(
