Care of your Veloursleder barefoot shoes (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).

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.
