Purpose-built for trail and hiking footwear, this cleaner is safe on Gore-Tex and waterproof membranes — unlike regular soap which can actually attract water and ruin DWR coatings. Runner's World calls it the best shoe cleaner for trail shoes.
If you're cleaning trail runners or hiking boots, this is the one to reach for. Regular dish soap can degrade waterproofing — Revivex won't, and it preps boots perfectly for re-waterproofing treatments.
