Blundstone #2446 waxed nubuck, Pre-worn leather finish adds a touch of sophistication to the everyday. Soft and supple with all the extra comfort the Classics bring, this distinctive leather finish shares our Rustic leather cleaning routine. Please note: Due to the high oil content in this leather, natural colour variations are to be expected. This can cause the leather to appear different from product images and develop unique character as it ages. DESCRIPTION Model #2446 Gender Unisex Colour Clay Upper Material Waxed Nubuck, Pre-Worn Leather Finish Fastening Type Pull-On Lining Material Leather & Textile Insole Contoured EVA with Poron XRD® Technology Series Classics Sole Unit Classic Removable Insole Yes HOW DO THEY FIT? Boots run true to size. Order up a half size for a wider fit. A snug fit across the top of the boot and the toe area. Over time, the thicker leather will soften and the boot will form nicely to your foot. CLEANING NUBUCK Use a dry nubuck cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then brush gently with a nubuck brush. Use a circular motion, taking care not to spend more than a few seconds on any area. If you have any scuffs, remove them with a gum eraser. Simply rub the scuff with the eraser and wipe away the rubber debris. Alternatively, try a spray-on nubuck cleaning solution, then wipe the area with a nubuck cloth. It is important to follow the instructions on such products and ensure it is tested on a small area before wider application. Dab the shoes with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture and leave to air dry. Apply a nubuck water and stain repellent on the shoe to help prolong the life of your shoes.Watch the Blundstone Waterproof Spray video. Remember, it’s a good idea to waterproof boots regularly to protect the leather from staining. If the leather is wet, let it dry naturally prior to cleaning or using any cleaning substances. CLEANING THE SOLE Remove any large pieces of dirt/debris from your boots. Use a stiff nylon brush to clean between the tread to remove any excess dirt. Should dirt remain, soak your boots in a shallow bath/bucket of warm water for two hours. Finally, use a damp cloth for an overall clean before allowing to dry naturally. EXTRA TIPS Never dry your boots by an open fire or artificial heat source, as this will cause the leather to harden, shrink and crack. It can even cause the leather to pull away from the sole. Always dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Always store your boots in a well ventilated, cool place away from sunlight or any heat which will tarnish the leather. You should use a leather conditioner on your boots whenever they need them. If your boots are looking a little scuffed and worn, always remember to use a conditioner. The Blundstone Polishing Pad is an easy to apply leather conditioner. Similarly, you should use a suede protector on your suede boots when they are looking worn, and before you wear them on a rainy or sunny day. Avoid exposing your boots to chemical contamination. Solvents, strong acids and alkalis will do irreparable damage on leather, whilst commonplace substances like milk and salt are also highly damaging. In the event of exposure, clean the boots immediately. You should only use good quality cleaning substances and ones specific to the material of your boots.
