  • Care instructions

    Suede comes from the inner/under layer of the hide and has a soft, fuzzy nap. Nubuck comes from the outer/surface layer of the hide and retains a slight grain pattern with a short velvety nap.

    Note: for nubuck, crazy horse and distressed leathers the blocking line that runs down the middle of the boot is often more noticeable in oily leathers due to the wax/oil content. The blocking line is a characteristic hallmark of the blocking process, an integral step required to make a boot out of one piece of leather. Due to the individual nature of leather, each hide will block differently, and the appearance of the blocking line differs across all boots and leather types. The blocking line is likely to fade over time (it may not completely go away) but it is a visual sign of quality and should be worn with pride.

    Protecting

    Used regularly, R.M.Williams Suede Protector will create a durable and breathable layer to protect suede and Nubuck leathers from water and stains that occur with regular wear.

    • Prior to first wear, spray R.M.Williams Suede Protector onto clean footwear, in one direction, at a distance of 20cm
    • Allow to dry naturally, avoiding direct heat
    • Spraying in the opposite direction, repeat this process for a total of 3 times to ensure maximum coverage
    • Note: be mindful of wearing jeans or trousers that are non-colour fast over lighter coloured suede or nubuck boots as the colour may transfer to the leather
    • Note: we recommend protecting your leather boots with suede protector every 2-3 months, to help maintain and increase longevity of water resistance

    Cleaning

    R.M.Williams Suede Cleaner is specifically formulated to lift marks from suede or nubuck leathers.

    • Gently brush the suede with a suede brush.
    • If you have any stubborn marks on your suede boots, focus your brushing and cleaner spray on this area.
    • Spray Suede Cleaner onto a clean cloth or sponge and work cleaner in a circular motion to surface of boot.
    • Dab the shoes with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture and leave to dry naturally, avoiding direct heat.
    • Once dry, brush up nap with a suede brush to remove marks. It can be hard to get every mark out of suede, but any remaining will add to the character of your boots.
    • Re-apply R.M.Williams Suede Protector using the same method above.
    • Note: if you do get wet mud on suede boots, let it fully dry first. Then brush gently using a suede brush.
    • Note: suede brass bristle brush is for use on suede leather only
