To look after your nubuck leather and weatherproof it against dirt and rain, we recommend spraying with Collonil Nubuck & Velours Spray before first use, and regularly thereafter. To remove dirt, simply clean them gently with a soft brush.

To deal with superficial stains it is best to gently clean with soapy water – preferably Marseilles soap – taking care to wash the area you cleaned with clean water. Once dry (in open-air and away from direct heat/sunlight) finish by brushing the nubuck gently to restore the distinctive finish.

Never use shoe-wax on nubucks – it will damage their velvet finish.

During the making of your shoes, surface treatments are avoided to maintain the beautiful nature of these unique and very pliable skins. 

This degree of quality may sometimes lead to a slight transfer of colour to other items of clothing or the skin which may be amplified by the acidity of the skin. This is a simple transfer and is not serious. A little soap and water is usually enough to remove any such marks on the skin.

Avoid prolonged contact with water; humidity may increase any such transfer of the colours to clothing. Prolonged exposure to light-sources may fade the colour of the leather over time.

The sole has been made from either Lactae Hevea® or Formula Natural® (latex or rubber). The organic nature of soles made from pure hevea milk may sometimes lead to the appearance of white marks. Use a lint-free cloth with a bit of lemon juice or colourless vinegar to make these go away.  Use soapy water to clean all soles.  

Please note, chemical solvents will deteriorate the material of the soles: we strongly suggest that you do not use them.
