I can’t order the good kinds online because of the restrictions on aerosols and flammable items so I’d like to know where can I get them locally.
Also, I think I wanna check out shoe trees locally. I get them online but I guess I want to scope out what’s available here.
Thanks.

what restrictions you talking about?
Aerosols, flammable items, electrically charged items, toxic or corrosive fluids, pressurized vessels, etc, these are considered hazmat, but they are still shipped here via skybox.
what skybox tell you such items restricted & can't be imported?

1. If you have leather shoes don't use any waterproofing silicone sprays. They have for nubuck and suede, but what this does is clog up the pores of leather and it can't breathe. It destroys the leather long-term. Use dubbin or mink oil on leather and do it every few months to treat the leather.
2. They're so things won't stick to the shoes, like mud and road salt or walking through slushy snow during winter in those countries. It can't really waterproof your shoes with open seams and lace holes, etc. Application of such a spray for what you imagine it does is not correct. Waterproofing spray also doesn't last long, you need to re-apply them on shoes and boots every week for it to work properly.
3. You know 3M Scotchguard, found in every hardware, is the same thing right? They have a whole range of Scotchguard products, including one for suede shoes. Check big places like Bhagwansingh's and Allied Home Center and L&D.

I used this recently and it works decently. Under heavy wear it will need to be reapplied more often. Like maj. tom said, seams and lace holes are still a vulnerability.

It was probably confiscated (by skybox employee) & discarded (in their house).*KRONIK* wrote:Websource stop bring hazmat a while now
solution- Find another better skybox.
It have so many other skybox companies out here that bringing in whatever you want when you want, seems odd to limit oneself to a company that puts restrictions on what you can ship.
