Taking care of nubuck and suede
Nubuck and suede
At Wolky, we’re big fans of nubuck and suede, and not without reason. Both types of leather have a luxurious look and feel and are good for your feet. Although nubuck and suede are by no means the same, you care for them in the same way. We tell you how to care for nubuck and suede shoes here. See below to find out more about the difference between these two types of leather.
1
Protect
Nubuck and suede have an open structure, so it is very important to protect these materials against moisture and dirt. We recommend a high quality protection spray. These sprays provide high-performance impregnation, ensuring your shoes remain beautiful for longer.
2
Care
The colour on nubuck and suede items can lose intensity over time. You can revive the colour of the material using Nubuck + Textile. This product contains colour pigment which freshens up the colours of suede.
Tip: If you are not sure which colour to use, go for the colourless option. This spray contains a colour activator which will restore the original colour of the material
3
Clean
Besides protecting and caring for nubuck and suede shoes, it is important to clean them from time to time. The first step is to clean your shoes ‘dry’. For this, we recommend the Collonil Suede Nubuck Box. After the dry stage, you can ‘damp’ clean them. Clean these shoes with Carbon Complete, applying it with the sponge provided. Your shoes will look as good as new in no time! Clean the soles with a damp cloth.
Good choice!
These shoes are of excellent quality. With proper care, they'll stay beautiful for a long time – sustainable for the planet and smart for your wallet. Our maintenance tips:
