Regular care of your shoes and boots has multiple
advantages.
It will give you maximum footwear performance, will keep your shoes in top-top condition to ensure proper support and comfort (and not to mention safety), and will extend the lifespan of your shoes.
Each Inspires colourway is crafted from a different type of leather, so care will vary slightly. The pink Inspires boots is made from nubuck leather, while the brown is made from crazy horse leather. Before you dive into your shoe care routine,
be sure you’re following the right tips for your chosen colour.
TO CLEAN NUBUCK LEATHER FOOTWEAR (PINK)
Gather Materials: Nubuck brush, cleaner, clean cloth, waterproofing spray and bowl of water.
Brush off dirt: Use a nubuck brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust.
Spot clean: Dampen a cloth with water and lightly dab any spots.
Apply cleaner: Follow the product instructions to apply a nubuck/suede specific cleaner (do not over saturate).
Brush again: After the cleaner has dried, use the nubuck brush to restore the nap.
Remove stubborn stains: For tough stains, use a nubuck eraser or a specialised nubuck cleaning block.
Dry properly: Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.
Protect: Once dry, apply a waterproofing spray to shield against future stains and water damage (and help lock the colour in!).
Condition (optional but highly recommended): Use a nubuck conditioner to maintain the leather's suppleness, especially if you do wear your shoes in a harsh outdoors environment.
Store correctly: Store shoes in a cool, dry place.
Always ensure the products you are using are suitable for nubuck or suede (napped) leathers.
We highly recommend our premium shoe care kit plus a conditioner/moisturiser suitable for napped nubuck or suede leathers.
