Why bother purchasing another brand when this one does the trick. In the last few years I have purchased at least 3 pairs of regular size boots and 4 pair of tall size boots, colors ranging from brown, black, tan and blue. For each one I used Kiwi Protection. No staining, no problems, you just do a light spray first, then hours later another spray. My boots have all withstood the rain and inclement weather all season long. I am in the process of sending my daughter 2 or 3 new boots for herself. I purchased another Kiwi to send along with the boots. I know the Kiwi will do it's job. I don't, however know if my daughter will do hers!
