In this post, we\u2019re going to focus on the pros and cons of nubuck leather and they pertain to mountain sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-nubuck-leather-anyway\">What is nubuck leather, anyway?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start by figuring out what nubuck leather is. Nubuck leather is a top-grain <strong>cattle<\/strong> <strong>leather<\/strong> that is known for its <strong>raw<\/strong>, almost <strong>velvet-like surface<\/strong>. Obviously, this nice texture isn\u2019t inherent to the leather. Only when it is <strong>sanded<\/strong> or <strong>buffed<\/strong> can you produce this texture. As for the origins of the word, it is assumed that the leather gets its named from this very process. Suede, which is visibly similar to nubuck after being sanded, is also known as buckskin. Because it was a new and artificial method they used back then to sand the leather, it is assumed that the word nubuck came from <strong>new + buck (skin)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62409\" width=\"285\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-8.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-8-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nubuck leather is both breathable and water resistant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-advantages-of-nubuck-leather\">The advantages of nubuck leather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing about nubuck leather is probably its <strong>breathability<\/strong>. It gets its breathable properties from sanding the leather. This makes the leather great for sports and thus simply perfect for walking and mountaineering boots. In addition to its breathability, the material is <strong>water-resistant<\/strong> as well. However, you\u2019ll have to <strong>proof<\/strong> the leather first, but once you\u2019ve done so, it\u2019ll stay that way for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great thing about this leather is how <strong>comfortable<\/strong> it is. How comfortable? Well, you\u2019ll have to go mountaineering to find out! After all, only if your shoes lie comfortably and gently against your feet, will those tough ascents be as fun as they should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-disadvantages-of-nubuck-leather\">The disadvantages of nubuck leather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the advantages like the breathability, water-resistance and the softness of the material, nubuck leather has one small disadvantage as well. And ironically, it\u2019s one that results from sanding. Nubuck leather gets <strong>stained very easily<\/strong>. So, if you\u2019re trudging through dirt and mud, don\u2019t be surprised if you find ugly spots on your shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another downside to nubuck is that its <strong>UV resistance is relatively low<\/strong>, so the <strong>colour tends to fade<\/strong> with intensive use. But, if you opt for a lighter colour, this will be less of an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cleaning-and-caring-for-nubuck-leather\">Cleaning and caring for nubuck leather<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62415\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-9.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-9-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-9-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-9-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nikwax &#8211; Nubuck &amp; Suede &#8211; Leather care product<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If your nubuck leather shoe gets a stain, don\u2019t worry! Cleaning the material is surprisingly easy. For surface dirt or dust, you can use a <strong>suede brush<\/strong> to <strong>scrub<\/strong> the <strong>dirty areas<\/strong> and move on to the rest of the shoe. But, before you do so, make sure the <strong>shoes are dry<\/strong>. In addition to suede brushes, there are also <strong>natural rubber brushes<\/strong> that are gentler and remove even more dirt. Once you\u2019ve finished cleaning the leather, coat it with a <strong>waterproofing spray<\/strong>. This will protect the leather from <strong>future damage<\/strong> and may even provide <strong>UV protection<\/strong> as well, depending on the product you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-special-care-products-to-treat-ugly-stains\">Special care products to treat ugly stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the nubuck leather ends up getting stained, you can treat the stains with <strong>special stain erasers<\/strong>. These erasers were developed specifically to be used on nubuck leather and can make the <strong>stain less prominent<\/strong> or even <strong>remove it completely<\/strong>. However, do be careful when using them. You could end up damaging the leather. In addition to stain erasers, there are also <strong>cleaning products for nubuck leather<\/strong> or <strong>care sets<\/strong> specifically designed for this particular type of leather and its characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-very-dirty-nubuck-leather-shoes-need-to-be-cleaned-with-water\">Very dirty nubuck leather shoes need to be cleaned with water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your leather shoes are really dirty, often the only way to get them clean is by using water. All you have to do is hold your nubuck leather boots <strong>under running water<\/strong> and scrub them <strong>with a brush<\/strong>. You can also add some <strong>soap<\/strong>, if needed, but make sure it\u2019s <strong>not too aggressive<\/strong>. After cleaning, <strong>stuff them with some newspaper<\/strong> and <strong>allow them to air dry in a dry room<\/strong>. It is important to ensure that the space is not too hot. The newspaper helps the shoes to retain their shape. Plus, it absorbs water rather quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Never dry your shoes on or under a radiator, either, because the leather would dry out and lose both its softness and breathability. Afterwards, be sure to waterproof the leather as well.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62421\" width=\"299\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-10.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-10-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-20-10-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nubuck leather shoes are very common in hill walking and mountaineering<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As was mentioned above, nubuck leather is a great choice for walking and mountaineering boots.
