Troubleshooting
Nubuck becoming stiff or losing texture
Gently brush the surface with a dedicated nubuck brush to restore the nap. If stiffness persists, a light application of a nubuck conditioner might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Discoloration or staining on the nubuck
Use a nubuck eraser for minor marks. For tougher stains, apply a specialized nubuck cleaner sparingly with a cloth, following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a thin insert or powdering the insole lightly with talcum powder. Ensure laces are tied correctly.
Sole becoming slippery
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. If the tread is significantly worn, it may reduce traction. For minor slipperiness on smooth surfaces, some users apply a light roughening to the sole with fine-grit sandpaper.
