Care of your Veloursleder barefoot shoes (Rauleder)

Pflege Deiner Barfußschuhe aus Veloursleder (Rauleder)

Veloursleder is an ideal material for shoes because it is very breathable due to its open -pore structure. However, this requires a lot of care to stay beautiful and stable for a long time.

Here we give you a few tips on how to best clean and care for your ZAQQ barefoot shoes made of suede.

 

What is velour leather?

The generic term for Veloursleder is Rauleder. In contrast to smooth leather, the surface is roughened, as can be derived from the designation. However, it is not rough, but rather velvety.

Colloquially, suede is often said about Rauleder. Strictly speaking, this is not correct. Wild leather comes from wild animals and is extremely rare in the shoe industry. There are simply far too few animal skins from a game population.

The suede is a subspecies of the Rauleder. The outer animal skin is smooth (smooth leather), the inner side facing the meat is rough (suede).

We particularly like to use suede because it is significantly more breathing active compared to smooth leather due to the open -pore structure. So it is perfect for sports and outdoor shoes or summer sneakers.

So check briefly whether your shoe is actually made of suede to choose the right care. You see the materials specified under the detailed description of the shoe.

Cleaning and maintaining Veloursleder

It is best to clean suede with a soft brush or sponge. It is gentle to clean the shoe completely dry. So if you come home with wet shoes, let them dry well before cleaning them and caring for them.

With the Nubuk Box Classic sponge or the Dry cleaning brush from Collonil Can you clean your barefoot shoes gently and straighten the suede. So it is well prepared for care.

 

After the shoes have been cleaned dry, it is necessary to take care. We recommend this to you Biological Bamboo Lotion. It not only ensures nutrients and moisture, but also solves stubborn dirt. After spraying, you can easily brush off the dirt. The lotion has to dry well before you impregnate your barefoot shoe to protect it from water and dirt.

After cleaning and caring for your suede shoes, they still have to be impregnated in a last step. This is suitable for this Highly effective depth and surface impregnation spray nanopro particularly good.

You should always spray your shoes outside or in a well -ventilated room. Make sure that you spray the suede evenly from a distance of approx. 20 cm. Then let the shoe dry in a protected place. But never use heat to speed up the process. As a result, unsightly spots can arise and secondly, the impregnation agent cannot penetrate the innermost of the leather. The suede is only protected from water and dirt if the nanoparticles can penetrate deep into the pores. It is best to let your ZAQQS dry overnight.

After the impregnation agent has moved in well and dried, the suede is processed with a soft brush or a soft sponge. This gives it the typical velvety surface again.

The Soft moss rubber sponges, with which you cleaned the shoes, can also be used to finish the velor leather.

Attention: before wearing it for the first time !!!

Of course, if you get your ZAQQS out of the box, you don't have to clean them, but they should be impregnated before wearing it for the first time. First of all, you prevent fine dirt particles into the suede and secondly, they become water -repellent.
