Goat nubuck
Nubuck is a napped leather like suede. It is created by buffing the hide, resulting in a soft, raised texture. Nubuck is made from the grain side of the hide making the nap finer and the hide more durable than suede.
- Store the shoes in the dust bags that they arrive in, away from moisture and in a well-ventilated area
- Clean your nubuck shoes by brushing off dirt and debris with a suede brush
- Condition the upper with a renovator formulated for nubuck
- Protect your nubuck shoes from water and dirt with a nubuck/suede spray
- Use a suede eraser for stains
Goat vegtable tanned
The tanning process turns the hide into leather, preserving it, making it durable and protecting it from moisture and microorganisms. Vegetable tanning, which uses natural tannins extracted from tree barks, leaves, and roots, is the oldest tanning method. It can take up to two months to tan leather in this way.
