How should I clean the University Blue nubuck?

For nubuck, use a dry nubuck brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and apply it carefully, following the product's instructions. Avoid using water directly on the nubuck.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of premium white leather and University Blue nubuck underlays.

Troubleshooting

Color transfer from blue to white materials.

This can occur with new or damp shoes. Ensure shoes are dry. If it persists, consider using a leather sealant on the blue areas or avoid wearing in wet conditions until the color stabilizes.

Nubuck material getting dirty.

Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, use a nubuck cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions. Avoid using water extensively on nubuck.

Creasing in the leather.

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a damp cloth. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and brush.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original box, to maintain shape and prevent damage. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade colors.
  • Water Protection: While the leather and nubuck offer some resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or moisture. Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and nubuck.
