I am glad that you could think of the word 'microfiber', I knew big fuzzy thing was not the right word, but was the only description I could think of.

I agree that water and leather do not normally mix well, but the wax, when applied properly, seems to protect my shoes as well as it did my boots, back when the military actually polished their boots.
