The Perfect Maintenance Guide

Suede and nubuck require delicate care. Their fine fibers and velvety texture can only be preserved with specific products.

Step 1. Shape

Insert shoe trees (ideally cedar wood) to maintain the shape and absorb internal moisture.

Step 2. Cleaning

Remove dust and dirt with a soft brush or slightly damp cloth, always brushing in the natural direction of the nap. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser.

Step 3. Drying

If the shoes are wet, let them air-dry naturally, away from heat sources. Make sure they are completely dry before continuing.

Step 4. Reviving

Brush the surface again to lift the fibers and restore softness.

Step 5. Protection

Finish with a waterproof spray specifically designed for suede or nubuck to protect against water and stains. Reapply regularly, especially in humid environments.

Avoid creams or polish: they flatten the nap and alter the natural texture of suede.
