TarragoUnisex-Adult High Tech Nano Protector Shoe Treatments & Polishes

It's not often that a product is so good I feel compelled to write a review but in this case it is exactly that. Tarrago Nano Protector is astonishingly GOOD.If you're sitting reading product reviews for spray protector then like me you are no doubt worried about your precious shoes (for me it was shoes but this product can be used on jackets, coats, rucksacks and probably just about anything you care to mention) being destroyed by the elements of day to day life. Rain, snow, mud, spilled drinks, vomit, blood... The list goes on. Whatever your daily life involve your shoes are almost certainly at risk of being forever ruined by one/some/all of the above BUT, NOT WITH TARRAGO NANO PROTECTOR APPLIED!Initially I was sceptical about this product's abilities (having tried various incarnations of spray protector over the years and having found none that actually worked) but I decided I'd give it a go. It seemed to posses the appropriate number of positive reviews, enough to at least get my hopes up. So, I ordered myself some Tarrago Nano Protector and when it arrived I gave two pairs of my beloved shoes a good dousing, while doing my best not to be carried off to the 'magic roundabout' or wherever by the intoxicating fumes. I'd advise spraying in a well ventilated area or outdoors and not in a small confined space like I did. I fear I may have shaved several years off of my life...Anyway, after an hour of intense hallucinations I finally returned to what seemed to be reality and came to the conclusion that the spray protector would probably have dried in by now. Armed with an espresso cup full of water I set about my attack, flicking and pouring small amounts of water directly onto each pair of shoes. Unbelievably the water either bounced straight off or beaded down the sides of the shoes and away leaving them clean, dry and not even slightly water damaged.Incredible! I was startled. I'd finally found the spray protector that I'd been dreaming of all these empty years and it came with the added bonus of a whole hours worth of intensely realistic nightmarish visions while, I'm sure depriving me of my future old age! :DSuperb value for money. Ten out of ten! Five stars! Twenty terrifying mutated monkey rabbits and a shortened life! BUY IT NOW! You won't regret it. :-)

Product is awesome and does what it says to an extent. It's super easy to apply to item. Just give it a layer or two and water rolls off. It's not very good with a lot of water though. Heavy water or rain still kinda bunches up but is also still waterproof. For the price however this a good purchase and fun to try out if you haven't used one of these before.

I've previously chosen applicator styles of waterproofing, which worked well to a degree but were a complete faff to apply. Most of these applicator brands instruct you to wet the shoes before applying. I wasn't happy with a competitor applicator brand is been using (and the fact that I'd ended up with water marks on some nice suede boots from it), so I read around for a few days before deciding to try this. The decision was a combination of being an acceptable price and good reviews both on Amazon and when I googled the product.This spray is so much easier to apply, and the results are superb, it genuinely waterproofs the fabric of the shoe or boot. I've used it on some padded nylon boots, some suede boots, a pair of leather trainers and some mixed composition walking boots. All now tested out in snow and rain, with commendable results. I can't comment on how long an application lasts, but going by other reviewers I expect to need to reapply sometime in spring. A can does seem to contain a few applications though, so it's relatively economical over time.There was no apparent change in colour or staining across any of the footwear on application. It took between 30-45 minutes for the footwear to feel dry. Once waterproofed, water rolls off the footwear. It's impressive to watch!It's worth mentioning, as both the listing and other reviews have pointed out, that this stuff is seriously solvent based and you really do need to apply it in a well ventilated area - I went outside to do it and brought the footwear back into the house after spraying. Even so, there was a strong solvent smell as the footwear dried.I'm sold on this product from application through to performance. I will be buying it in future, it's much better than my previous footwear waterproofing brands.

I purchased this product to protect a range of different shoes (suede, calfskin, nubuck, waxy/oiled leather) from rainy London days.The product works exceptionally well - particularly on suede shoes. Don't bother with any other suede spray, this is the one you want. I've been using the spray for about 2 months, and have been quietly and pleasantly surprised at how well the coating repels water (and importantly dust as well). With a quick double coating every fortnight, I've been able to wear my suede shoes with absolute peace of mind, knowing that even coffee will not penetrate its coat (I was brave and confident enough to try).On my other shoe materials (calf, oily/waxy, etc.) , I've attained a slightly lower level of resistance, albeit, still more than satisfactory. As is stands, a coating interval of 10 days seems to be suitable.A few words of caution:1. Please only use this spray in a WELL ventilated area - the fumes are horrendously putrid (though no lingering odour remains on the shoe).2. I've found leaving a bit of time in between coats (if double coating, e.g. 10mins) increases effectiveness.3. When using this spray in combination with calfskin shoes (e.g. dress shoes), I'd use a thorough cleaner (e.g. Saphir Renomat) to remove the build up of silicone and other materials every 3 months or so. This is to ensure the leather will be allowed to breathe. If the coating prevents water from penetrating its surface, I'd imagine it can't be too great for letting the leather breathe.I'm looking forward to testing how well the shoes perform under snowy winter conditions - will post an update given the time.
