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.

Care Instructions:

  • Nubuck Care: Nubuck is a delicate material. Use a specialized nubuck cleaning brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a nubuck eraser or a specialized nubuck cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water, as it can stain and alter the texture of the nubuck.
  • Sole Cleaning: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and moisture. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
