Tumbled Nubuck is a soft, medium-weight leather that has been buffed on the grain side to give it a velvety, suede-like texture that is silky to the touch. It's known for being comfortable and having a sophisticated, matte appearance.
No, Tumbled Nubuck leather is not inherently waterproof. While Dr. Martens' construction is robust, nubuck can be sensitive to water. We highly recommend applying a suitable waterproof and stain-resistant spray designed for nubuck leather to protect them from moisture and stains.
The lightweight EVA sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and grime, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the sole material.
Goodyear welting is a traditional construction method where the upper and sole are heat-sealed and then stitched together. This makes the footwear exceptionally durable, hard-wearing, and allows for resoling, extending the life of the product.
Like most genuine leather products, the Tumbled Nubuck leather may soften and slightly mold to your foot's shape over time, contributing to a more customized and comfortable fit. However, significant stretching is unlikely, especially with the adjustable buckles.
While the robust construction offers some protection, it's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water, as nubuck leather is not designed for prolonged exposure to wet conditions and can stain or become damaged. If they do get wet, refer to the care instructions for proper drying.
The Olson sandals feature four adjustable buckles. Carefully adjust each buckle to achieve a comfortable yet secure fit. Ensure the zip is fully closed. It may take a few wears to find your ideal setting.
Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently buff the affected area, which helps restore the nap and remove superficial marks. For deeper marks or stains, a dedicated nubuck cleaning solution may be required. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free from debris. You can apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a wax stick or silicone spray, not oil-based products) to the teeth to improve smoothness. Operate the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.
