WATER BE GONE

The Jak Snow Magic Spray Isn’t an Exaggeration. It Magically Makes Your Shoes Waterproof.

Watch as water just beads and drips off your favorite suede or leather shoes with no damage.

Have you ever seen those videos of people dumping soda or spraying mustard all over white T-shirts with no consequence? I used to think that experience was relegated to Instagram ads, but after watching a video of one of my favorite shoe brands doing that with their shoes, I was intrigued. I watched as someone poured water onto suede clogs where it just beaded up and slid off after being sprayed with Jak Snow Magic Spray.

Magic Spray is a non-toxic, eco-friendly water-repellent solution that keeps suede, leather, and nubuck safe from getting wet. Without getting too technical, it creates a waterproof bond on top of the material and keeps it from becoming damaged from liquid, oils, and even the sun. The application was really easy, though my anxieties over ruining a new pair of shoes didn’t really subside until I was done. You just spray the entire shoe and use a soft brush (I used a free toothbrush I got from my dentist) to help bond the spray to the suede. Do that twice and then wait 24 hours before testing it out.

I’m not a huge fan of rain boots and tend to just deal with the consequences of wearing non-waterproof shoes out in the rain (I can’t always wear my Allbirds or Blundstones). But with this spray, I can wear some of my favorite shoes that happen to be suede, even if there’s a sudden downpour. It gives me more freedom with my footwear, so I’m not sacrificing my style because of a little rain.
