What is eco nubuck. What is the difference between suede and nubuck? Suede and nubuck: what is it

Nubuck is a suede-like material that is popular in footwear and upholstery. We offer to figure out what nubuck is, what care rules you need to provide the material.

What is nubuck?

Nubuck is the name of a natural material that is made from the skin of animals, usually large ones. So that it does not lose its properties, the base is processed with high quality. The product can be divided into natural, synthetic, oil.

For boots, sports sneakers, boots, moisture resistance, water resistance, strength and durability are important qualities. Nubuck has these qualities.

Visually, nubuck is similar to suede. The main difference is the processing method. In addition, suede is made from the skin of small cattle, and, as we said above, nubuck is made from the skin of large cattle. When tanned, nubuck is first treated with salts, and suede is treated with fats. The first is quite easy to clean and less demanding to care for than suede.

The material is pleasant to the touch, soft, slightly fleecy. Consumer properties are achieved through the use of chemical compounds and abrasives. The oil type is finished with fatty substances to improve water repellency.

Nubuck leather

After passing the treatment with sand, salts, the base turns into a slightly fleecy, soft to the touch. Often such material becomes the main one in the manufacture of furniture upholstery. Masters from Italy evaluated the properties of the product, so interior items from it are very successful. Nubuck leather is not used for the production of shoes, since it has more decorative properties and is difficult to care for.

artificial material

Let's figure out what artificial nubuck is. Raw materials are produced by layering different types of polymers on top of each other. The result is a high-quality material that guarantees:

• long service life;
• moisture resistance;
• repulsion of dirt;
• resistance to temperature extremes, ultraviolet rays;
• ease of care;
• low cost;
• wide color palette.

Nubuck is used for the manufacture of home, outdoor shoes, winter boots, spring and autumn boots, stylish bags, gloves, decor items.

Rules for the care of nubuck shoes

Wear resistance and excellent tactile qualities are considered essential advantages of nubuck products. Cons - the need to purchase shoe brushes for cleaning, the use of special cleaning compounds.

The first treatment of shoes is carried out immediately after purchase, before wearing. Daily care consists in cleaning nubuck shoes with a soft brush or non-woven cloth and treating them with special dirt and water repellents: they will fight snow and dirt.

If you need to restore the color of shoes, you will need a special paint. It is applied with a sweeping motion.

In order for nubuck shoes to last a long time, you need to follow 4 rules:

• do not leave wet, dirty shoes overnight;
• do not wear in slush and rain;
• do not wash with wet rags;
• do not use products with oil in the composition, as well as products for smooth skin.

Understanding what nubuck is, it will be possible to provide the material with high-quality care, significantly extend the service life of products. To find your perfect nubuck pair, visit shoe stores

Now questions about nubuck sound less and less, due to the popularity of such material. At the same time, there are many people who are not even aware that this is one of the types of leather. Especially for such visitors of the Pro Boot Black website, we have prepared this article. Next you will learn:

• How to distinguish natural nubuck from artificial?
• Should I wear nubuck in winter?
• What is oiled nubuck?

Nubuck is a leather with a fine pile, obtained by chrome tanning and grinding with fine abrasive materials on the front side of the skin. Most of the nubuck, from which shoes and furniture sold in Ukraine are made, is made from the skins of cattle. The advantages of this type of leather are strength, reliability and resistance to serious mechanical stress. In addition, nubuck shoes look stylish. Women's and men's shoes, shoes, moccasins, sneakers, boots, etc. are made from this material.

How to distinguish natural nubuck from artificial

To get as much material benefit as possible, many shoe manufacturers pass off artificial nubuck as natural. How to distinguish them from each other? The main difference between this type of artificial leather and natural leather is that the former does not absorb water. Thus, if you leave one or two drops of water on the surface of such a material and they remain “lying” on the surface, you have artificial nubuck in front of you. At the same time, it is important to understand that this method of checking will show the correct results only if nubuck boots, boots or shoes are not impregnated with water-repellent shoe cosmetics.

By the way, many believe that due to its waterproofness, wearing artificial nubuck in the rain is the best solution for dry feet. And on the one hand, they are right, because such material really does not let water through. At the same time, it does not let air through. As a result, the skin of the legs stops breathing, due to which the temperature inside the “couple” begins to rise, and sweating intensifies. Warm and humid environments are ideal conditions for the rapid growth of fungi and bacteria that cause dermatological problems. Therefore, artificial nubuck or leather (synthetic) are far from the best shoe materials for protecting feet from getting wet.

When buying nubuck shoes, study the label that manufacturers of sneakers, shoes, moccasins, boots are required to label the product. An icon in the form of a stretched skin indicates that the product is made of genuine leather, and in the form of a rhombus, it is made of faux leather. Detailed information on the marking of leather shoes awaits you in the article "Deciphering symbols on shoe labels".

What is nubuck oil

Oiled nubuck is nubuck that has been impregnated with protective agents during production. Their content inside such material makes it heavier. But it is they who protect the shoes from getting wet. This type of leather is identified by the feeling of moisture under the fingers when touching a product made of it.

Which is better for shoes: suede or nubuck

Nubuck and suede are types of leather that look very similar to each other. At the same time, nubuck is made from the outer layer of the skin of cattle, and suede is made from the inner. Given that the outer layer is thicker and more durable, nubuck shoes are usually much more durable than suede shoes. Boots made of this material withstand impacts, scratches and, with proper care, do not wear out for a long time.

These two types of leather differ in the ability to retain heat in shoes. Nubuck in winter warms the feet, protects them from hypothermia. That is why winter boots and boots are often made from it. Suede shoes are less warm and therefore, in most cases, demi-season shoes and low shoes are sewn from this type of leather.

Note that in order to keep warm inside the shoe, it is important to take care not only about the choice of the type of leather from which it is made, but also about what material will be in contact with the sole of the foot. Winter insoles MAVI STEP Wool, which can be bought on the brand's website or in a network of company stores in Kyiv, have an upper layer made of natural fur. This material retains heat inside the shoe even in severe frosts and prevents the feet from hypothermia. Other quality insoles for the cold season Alu Super (White, Black, Grey) and Filc are also created by MAVI STEP. Reviews about the manufacturer, which can be easily found on the Web, will make it clear that we do not deceive you by recommending the brand's products.

Suede has a more velvety texture than nubuck. It is soft, stretchy and looks expensive. Due to this, suede is used more often than nubuck for the manufacture of model shoes.
Thus, if the sophisticated look of shoes or boots is the first thing you expect from shoes, we recommend that you take a closer look at suede models. If strength and durability are a higher priority, give preference to nubuck.

How to clean nubuck

To dry clean nubuck shoes from dirt, you need two items: a brush and an eraser for fleecy leather types. Learn how to use them and learn how to:

• remove scuffs on nubuck boots, shoes or sandals;
• restore the texture of products from such material;
• protect it from getting wet

Note. Very rarely do writers on general websites test shoe care products before writing about them. Moreover, in most cases they do not understand at all what material is compatible with cream, balm, spray or impregnation: suede, nubuck or leather (smooth). As a result, readers who believe what is written spend money on creams and impregnations, which, after the first use, are sent to the trash can. The site provides information only about the products that the project masters have tested in practice. We write that the product keeps nubuck dry in winter or restores its color only when we are personally convinced of this.

When choosing shoes, a bag, a wallet or a belt, the buyer often has to deal with different materials. Genuine leather and suede prevail among them, but more and more often designers use nubuck to create beautiful things. What it is and what it is made of, many do not know. There is nothing surprising in this. Processing the skin in such a way that it acquires a velvety texture has become relatively recent.

Origin of material

Many consumers confuse nubuck and suede. Although they have some similarities, there are many more differences. Suede is thinner and more delicate. It is impossible to say about nubuck that it is a wear-resistant material. But it is much less affected by moisture and dirt. Most often used for the production of shoes.

The word "nubuck" itself has English roots, literally its translation means "new buckskin".

Perhaps at first it was made only from deerskin, but now it is made from the skin of cattle. The unique texture of the material is given by grinding with abrasive substances. The skin is lightly rubbed to create a low pile. Thanks to this, it has a pleasant velvety surface.

Application

Many people think when they see nubuck that this is a material suitable only for sewing demi-season or winter shoes. But experienced craftsmen who work with genuine leather in any form will not agree with the opinion of the majority.

Nubuck is a noble material. Its natural hues, delicate fragrance, velvety surface and durability (with proper care) allow you to make both high-quality shoes and other accessories.

Most often you can find bags, wallets and belts, but furniture covered with nubuck is very popular in the West: comfortable, cozy sofas. Few people like familiar leather for home interiors. There are several reasons for this. The skin is cold in winter, and in summer, on the contrary, it can heat up quite a lot.

Be that as it may, boots, shoes, sandals, boots made of nubuck are its most common use.

Buckskin shoes

Not every buyer chooses shoes for himself not in appearance, but by studying the characteristics of different models. The maximum that a person expects from shoes or boots is that the feet always remain dry and warm.

Nubuck is very breathable. This leather is ideal for tailoring. It will be warm until the very frosts, and it is also comfortable on a fine autumn or spring day.

The water repellency of ordinary nubuck is not very good. Manufacturers warn that it does not need to be wetted. It is better to wear such shoes in dry weather. If there is no other way out, then it can be treated with special water-repellent agents.

Varieties

In addition to products made from the traditional type of material, manufacturers offer customers shoes made from artificial or oil nubuck. What is it and how do these types differ from simple fleecy skin? To give the material additional moisture-repellent properties, a longer service life, it is impregnated with a special fatty solution.

After such treatment, the nubuck changes a little. It becomes as if wet to the touch and becomes much heavier. In this form, it is used for sewing winter shoes for children and adults. Impregnation makes the material very durable and resistant to water, dirt and various chemicals that are often sprinkled on the streets in winter.

Artificial nubuck looks very similar to natural. The resemblance is strong. A person who is not versed in wisdom will not immediately distinguish a fake.

In terms of properties, these are two completely different materials. Of the minuses, it should be noted that artificial nubuck "does not breathe." But resistance to mechanical damage, waterproofness, good appearance are big pluses in using this material.

How to care for nubuck shoes

This question is one of the most frequent and painful. Why is that? You need to find out what care is for nubuck before the shoes are put into operation. This is a rule without exception.

In order to maintain a chic appearance, the product must be carefully looked after. In order to reassure the owners of shoes made from this wonderful material, it is worth saying that the care procedures themselves are very simple, even a child can handle them.

After acquiring shoes (before the first exit to the street), it must be sprayed several times. This is a special moisture-repellent spray paint for nubuck. It comes in different shades, choosing the right spray for a particular pair of shoes is not difficult. Such a preventive measure will help to avoid rubbing in places where the skin comes into contact with trousers and on the ankles.

You need to touch up the nubuck every time after use. But before processing the material, it must be dried and cleaned of dust, dirt, sand. To do this, use special brushes. There are several varieties of them, all of them are good. If the house already has a special sponge or brush for suede - great! She will also cope with her task, she can also be used to care for nubuck. If you need to buy a brush, then there are plenty to choose from. They are made of bristles with a soft and delicate pile, foam rubber and rubber.

Strong dirt on nubuck should be gently wiped with a cloth moistened with water, but the shoes should be dried immediately. This will help to avoid an unpleasant "greasy" appearance.

So, the answers to the question: "Nubuk - what kind of material?" - received, but there are a few more important points:

• Dry cleaning is obligatory - washing shoes under a tap or rinsing in a basin will ruin it forever, it will no longer be possible to return the product to its normal state.
• The use of special cleaning products is allowed - this is a foam that is applied to pre-cleansed skin. After application, it is cleaned with a rag or sponge, and the shoes are dried.
• For the winter, boots or boots should be placed in a cardboard box or linen bag. A plastic bag for nubuck is not the best option.

If all domestic shoes are made from ordinary leather, then foreign hiking shoes, the same trekking boots, are mainly made of nubuck.

Azamator of F***ed 27.09.2010 - 12:01

So nubuck is leather treated in a special way. As far as I understand, tsimes is in the greater durability of nubuck, especially in the conditions of using this kind of shoes.

minorite 27.09.2010 - 12:30

Nubuck is basically suede.
According to the method of processing and properties, oiled nubuck is different - greater strength and elasticity, but practical applicability only for shoes and in technology.

How is it different from leather? What's better?

Azamator of F***ed 27.09.2010 - 12:55

Suede is fat tanned, and nubuck is chrome.
Suede is fleecy, and nubuck is matte (no lint!) That is, suede is specially "shaggy" to obtain a fleecy layer, and nubuck, on the contrary, is polished for smoothness.

What can I say? So Wikipedia is lying.

minorite 27.09.2010 - 15:30

on the grain side, or outside - if wikipedia finds a piece of nubuck with outside, then this is the source, otherwise it's just the work of wikipedes 😊

That is, on one side or the other.
Nubuck is similar to suede
That is similar to suede.

Azamator of F***ed 27.09.2010 - 17:05

Nubuck is similar to suede. It differs in that suede is created from the inner side of a hide, whereas nubuck is created from the outer side of a hide, giving it more strength and thickness along with a fine grain

Those. nubuck is similar to suede. It differs in that suede is made from the inside, and nubuck from the outside. Where is the truth, I have no idea 😊.

minorite 27.09.2010 - 17:32

So there in the first sentence copy-paste from one source, and in the second from another 😊
And so and so it may be, it's not important. It is important that different methods are processed.

In Russian pediviki it seems to be written that the wear resistance of nubuck is LESS than that of ordinary leather ...

But in reality, the opposite is true (well, if high-quality nubuck).
So Russian pediviki is so pedi 😊

there is too much loot-wellcome!

PS: I recommend that you study the issue of trekking shoes and the properties of the modern materials used. Then, you will not be so confident in writing frankly false information.
For your information, with a certain processing, quite trivial, almost any skin has the ability to "breathe". Not necessarily nubuck, although he is, including. Maybe you confused with leather substitutes? Here, with them, indeed, everything is much more interesting and diverse.
And, with the waterproofness of leather / nubuck, you obviously got excited. It even gets wet. Any skin has a porous structure. Dead, it does not have the ability to automatically feed on animal fat, produced through the glands by the body. Therefore, a lot of chemical compositions and surface permanent coatings for leather shoes have been invented.
PPS: At the same time, I urge you to be a little more mature in discussions, and do not try to offend your interlocutors if you cannot argue your opinion.

And for me, these nubuck shoes have two important advantages, the first is that smooth skin scratches very quickly, the second is that nubuck has the quality of self-cleaning from the same dirt, you used to run through soy fields in the fall, you come in dirty shoes, they stand, they dry , stomped his feet, all the dirt disappears, the skin is clean.

Absolutely agree.

The easiest option is a rubber boot, put a cotton stocking in it, unscrew the stocking on the top. Perforate part of the top, for example, on the cushion of the berets, providing an opportunity in some area for air to have more access to it. Woven inserts on the upper. But the skin in any case breathes, albeit to varying degrees, unless it is covered with a PVC film - then no. 😛 Now, if the lining does not breathe, then at least the skin or not the skin - to the point. The Chinese sometimes suffer from this, for example, the top is leather, and the lining is synthetic.

Gadyukin 02.10.2010 - 19:17

You can also kill the skin with the wrong cream, then it’s definitely not with a membrane or without, it won’t breathe. Although I have never cleaned squirrels that altams and have not impregnated them with any chemicals, I have been killing altams for 10 years, I have been walking in squirrels for three years.

In what "inside layers"? Can you imagine what a membrane is, in particular Gore Tex, and how it works? It is a thin polyethylene (polyurethane) film with micro-holes through which water in a liquid state does not pass, but in a vapor state, easily. Does it make sense to trim the shoe from the inside with a membrane if the skin does not "breathe" and does not remove vaporous moisture after the membrane to the outside of the shoe? Therefore, for shoes with a membrane and creams with special impregnations, they are released so that these same pores in the skin do not clog. It's cool to hear about the pores in the skin clogged after grinding and not cleaned, it's like not blown pasta 😊.

Oddball89 03.10.2010 - 10:39

It's useless, it's just a very fat troll. About "inside the layers" we still have to try to come up with 😀

About breathing. My second-hand nubuck boots (by GriSport) seem to be quite permeable. I washed them. The foam lining has absorbed a lot of water. This water has been climbing to the surface through the skin for a day, so it is always moisturized. If the leather did not allow water to pass through, the boots would have dried out long ago, remaining wet inside. Rubber boots, for example, do just that. Yes, and many berets too ...

This is not at all surprising, because shoes made of this material are attractive in appearance and strong enough to wear and belong to fairly inexpensive products. Like many other materials, it requires individual special care.

Thanks to its pleasant and refined appearance and soft, delicate color, nubuck is used for sewing both men's and women's shoes. Men's shoes and boots are made from this material, in rare cases boots. In women's shoes, the choice is much wider; shoes, ankle boots, low shoes, sneakers, boots and even over the knee boots are made from nubuck.

Nubuck shoes are suitable for everyday wear and for special occasions. Proper care will help preserve the original look, and the advice of modern designers will tell you how to combine shoes with other wardrobe items.

Nubuck what kind of material for shoes

Very often, consumers confuse nubuck with leather suede or velor. Nubuck differs from other materials in raw materials and in the method of tanning.

There are two types of this material natural and artificial nubuck. Artificial material, or as it is also called synthetic, is made from a polymer fiber compressed in several layers and having a velvety surface, which brings it closer in appearance to the present.

Natural nubuck is produced from the skins of cattle by chrome tanning. Velvety is achieved by grinding with a low-abrasive skin or fine-grained sand. Processing by this method makes the skin breathable and strong enough.

For shoes, nubuck is additionally impregnated with oils, achieving water resistance of the material.

How to clean nubuck shoes

As you know, nubuck is demanding in care, and in order not to spoil the thing, it must also be properly cleaned of dirt. For care, it is simply necessary to stock up with special cleaning and cosmetic products along with the purchase of shoes.

To remove external dirt, you need to get a hard brush or eraser; ordinary shoe brushes will not only not help to cope with dirt, but will also deprive the material of velvety. It is important to know that nubuck is cleaned only with dry brushes. Water during cleaning is used only to remove the protruding salt. It is desirable to impregnate a sponge or napkin not only with water, but also add a special shampoo for nubuck. This will prevent deformation of the product and will not spoil the material as a whole.

After deep cleaning, the products must be covered with a protective agent. If scuffs or non-removable stains appear on the shoes, a special paint in the form of an aerosol will come to the rescue.

Suede, nubuck shoe care (video):

If there are no special tools or it is not possible to purchase them, home care is also suitable. Substitute a professional cleaning agent, perhaps a one to four solution of ammonia with water, or a vinegar solution at the rate of one teaspoon per liter of water.

Nubuck shoes pros and cons

Like many other materials, nubuck has its advantages and disadvantages. The main advantages of nubuck include its light structure, strength and long-term operation. Despite the breathability, the material holds heat well in winter, and the porous surface allows the legs to breathe.

The disadvantages include special care for the product and poor tolerance to moisture. But fortunately, shoe manufacturers have foreseen these nuances and, in parallel with the products, produce special water-repellent products and other items for the care of nubuck.

High-quality shoe cosmetics and timely cleaning will hide all the minuses and shortcomings of nubuck shoes.

Nubuck winter shoes

Nubuck, due to its ability to retain heat, has firmly established itself among the materials for the manufacture of winter shoes. Boots made of this material retain the warmth created by the fur lining and warm the feet even in the most severe frosts.

Among the models of winter shoes made of nubuck, knee-high boots and over the knee boots are especially popular. In addition to excellent characteristics, shoes made from this material stand out among ordinary leather or artificial substitutes. The velvet surface gives a unique effect and incomparable gloss to the nubuck product.

An important factor was the attractive price of shoes made from this material, it is much cheaper than leather and suede.

All the distinctive qualities and fashion trends convince the consumer to choose nubuck shoes.

Nubuck shoe paint

Shoe paint has become one of the main care products for nubuck. It will not only restore the product to its original appearance, but also significantly increase the life of the shoe. It is necessary to paint shoes not only in cases of need, but also to regularly update the color, since external influence makes it dull and uneven.

Following the instructions on the packaging, it will not be difficult for anyone who wishes to dye their own shoes without contacting specialized workshops.

Before applying the paint, the shoes must be cleaned of dirt and dust, and with the help of a rubberized eraser, remove the greasy layer. Like cleaning, painting is carried out on a dry surface. The effect of dyed nubuck is preserved with the help of protective agents.

In addition to cleaning from dirt, nubuck needs to be impregnated. This procedure must be carried out after each shoe cleaning. Impregnation will prevent dirt and dust from entering the structure of the material, as well as protect against moisture and any other influence. In addition, high-quality and properly selected impregnation will give the material velvety and excellent elasticity and softness.

Manufacturers of cosmetics for shoes produce impregnation in the form of a liquid and for the convenience of the consumer in the form of an aerosol. This form allows you to impregnate the nubuck evenly and in sufficient quantity. Impregnation should be applied even before the first wear immediately after purchase.

How to dye nubuck shoes

The main thing you need to know about painting nubuck is how far from the material to spray the paint. In no case should you bring a can of paint close to it, as this spoils the color and makes it unnatural. The painting procedure can be carried out at home without resorting to the help of a specialist.

First of all, you need to choose the right paint, as close as possible in color to the product. You also need to clean your shoes well and dry them.

It is better to choose paint in the form of a spray, this will greatly facilitate the procedure. After preparation, apply the paint at a sufficient distance on the product and allow to dry. Fix the effect with a protective agent.

How to restore shoes from nubuck

Even careful care and high-quality cosmetics do not give a full guarantee for shoes. Be that as it may, nubuck shoes are worn on the street, so not only ordinary dirt, but also various substances can get on the material. Like a thing, you can put a stain on shoes that you can’t remove with a regular hard brush. And over time, nubuck loses its attractive appearance.

To restore shoes, you need the entire arsenal for caring for nubuck shoes. How to choose the right tools will tell the experts in the store.

In order about the recovery procedure:

• clean the surface of stains and dirt with a special shampoo;
• wipe the surface with a hard brush and eraser;
• let dry naturally, do not use household appliances and heaters;
• apply paint to the surface and fluff the fibers with a rubberized brush;
• fix the result with a water-repellent protective agent.

How to break in nubuck shoes

Despite the inherent elasticity of nubuck, it is impossible to stretch shoes a full size, but there is a chance to simply stretch uncomfortable shoes.

By the way, artificial material practically does not stretch. With natural material, this will be much easier to do, it is enough to purchase a stretching spray. Such universal sprays are suitable for leather, suede and nubuck.

As for folk remedies, alcohol or vodka is suitable. Having lubricated the inside of the product, it is necessary to pass it for 2 hours.
