Review: Works well and has an applicator brush - Worked well to clean my Oboz hiking boots. They were covered in red dust from the Utah National Parks. Didn’t realize the applicator has a brush - that was helpful
Review: Prepped boots for waterproofing - Got my boots cleaned before using the waterproof spray. The red tab was a little weird. It felt like I needed to constantly push on it but my boots were a soft fabric so I had to hold my hand inside the boot to push hard enough on the red tab to get any solution to come out. Still got the job done though!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prepped boots for waterproofing
*by A***Y on February 9, 2026*

Got my boots cleaned before using the waterproof spray. The red tab was a little weird. It felt like I needed to constantly push on it but my boots were a soft fabric so I had to hold my hand inside the boot to push hard enough on the red tab to get any solution to come out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, integrated scrubber design needs work
*by J***W on June 20, 2020*

The cleaning gel is effective in removing dirt and other stuff from equestrian boots. The attached scrubber came off while I was cleaning boot number 5. The gel can be dispensed still, just be ready to use a boot brush for further scrubbing
