SHOES CARE GUIDE
NUBUCK
NUBUK IS BEST CLEANED WITH A SOFT BRISTLE BRUSH, A LEATHER OR FABRIC CLOTH, AND SPECIAL CLEANING PRODUCTS. WE RECOMMEND BRUSHING AFTER EVERY USE, USING REGULAR CIRCULAR MOVEMENTS AND NEVER STAYING TOO LONG IN THE SAME POINT. TO REMOVE STUBBORN STAINS, WE ADVISE THE USE OF SPECIAL LIQUID OR SPRAY PRODUCTS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET, WHICH YOU SHOULD FIRST APPLY TO YOUR CLEANING CLOTH, THEN WAIT FOR THE LEATHER TO DRY AND FINALLY BRUSH THE AREA IN QUESTION TO REMOVE ALL RESIDUE.
SYNTHETIC LEATHER
SYNTHETIC LEATHER IS STRONG, SUPPLE AND EASY TO WASH. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF WATERPROOFING SPRAYS AND SHOE POLISH. FOR EFFECTIVE CLEANING, WE ADVISE USING A LIGHT FOAM SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED FOR SYNTHETIC LEATHER.
SEUDE
SUEDE NEEDS REGULAR TREATMENT AND CONSTANT CARE TO PREVENT EARLY AGEING AND IRREMEDIABLE DAMAGE. WE ADVISE REMOVING SURFACE DIRT BY BRUSHING THE LEATHER WHEN DRY AND USING A BRUSH MOISTENED WITH WATER FOR STUBBORN DIRT. DO NOT USE NITRO-BASED OR OTHER DEGREASING PRODUCTS. IF YOU WISH TO APPLY A WATERPROOFING PRODUCT, USE ONLY WATER AND SILICONE-BASED TREATMENTS. WE STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST THE USE OF PRODUCTS CONTAINING OILS AND ANIMAL FATS, AS WELL AS THE WEARING OF SUEDE FOOTWEAR IN ENVIRONMENTS CONTAINING ACID SUBSTANCES THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE WATERPROOFING TREATMENT APPLIED TO THE LEATHER.
TEXTILE
FABRIC FOOTWEAR IS PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER AND DIRT AND THEREFORE REQUIRES SPECIAL TREATMENT. FIRST USE A BRUSH TO REMOVE MOST OF THE DIRT AND MUD AND THEN CLEAN DEEP DOWN USING A FOAMING PRODUCT. REPEAT THESE STEPS TO REMOVE ANY REMAINING DIRT AFTER INITIAL CLEANING. FABRIC SHOULD ALWAYS BE TREATED WITH A WATERPROOFING PRODUCT TO PREVENT DIRT FROM PENETRATING INTO THE FIBRES.
