Nikwax: The Story of Nick’s Wax

The founder of Nikwax, Nick Brown, grew up hiking the rugged hills of England and Scotland with his father. Dissatisfied with the waterproofing products available at the time, Nick decided to invent his own—Nick’s Wax (which eventually became Nikwax). This unique formula ensured his boots remained waterproof while receiving the essential care they needed.

This original wax was the predecessor to the entire range of Nikwax water-based cleaning and waterproofing productsmanufactured by this world-renowned company today.
