I used this product on new, light cream-colored hiking boots (suede) and a new backpack (shiny fabric-sorry, I cannot determine exactly what fabric type). I took both on a trip to a windy, rainy place. They held up beautifully! Especially the hiking boots took a big hit of mud, dust, debris in rainy conditions. I simply brushed them off with a damp towel and my boots look like new! I also sprayed the cushy, foamy soles and those remained protected as well. I had also stepped into a stream and submerged the bottom of the boots a bit over the soles my feet stayed completely dry. This might speak more to the boots than the actual water-proofing, but I believe it was a combination of the two. I should also mention that this product did not alter the color of either the boots or backpack materials it was applied to in any way! I am VERY happy with this product!
