Nubuck and suede are scraped or “wild” leathers. In nubuck the “grain” side is shown, that is the external side of the leather, which has fine, short and silky fibers. In suede, on the other hand, the internal side is shown, that is the “flesh” side, which appears worked in a more marked way by presenting clearly visible flexible and soft fibers.To best protect both leathers, this type of material must be dry cleaned. In case of more stubborn dirt, a water wash with a foamy product can be used. To restore the velvety effect of the skin, brush it once dry. The shoe can be treated with a waterproofing spray for suede and, if necessary, with a product to revive the color. As soon as the shoe is dry, it must be brushed again. Warning: never use oily products or products containing wax, as they would stick the hair to the surface. Do not allow suede leathers to dry in direct sunlight.
