Caring for Suede and Nubuck in Cold Weather

As the colder months approach, your favorite suede and nubuck shoes face new challenges. From slushy sidewalks to unexpected snowstorms, these delicate materials need the world’s best shoe cleaner to maintain their sleek appearance and soft texture. 

If you want to keep your shoes looking fresh all season long, taking proper care is key. 

In this guide, we’ll cover how to protect your suede and nubuck shoes in cold weather using the Shoe MGK Clean & Protect Kit—your go-to solution for keeping shoes in top shape no matter the forecast.

How to Clean Suede and Nubuck Shoes with the Shoe MGK Cleaner and Conditioner

Suede and nubuck are luxurious materials, but they’re also highly sensitive to moisture, stains, and dirt. 

Cold weather conditions often bring wetness and mud, which can easily damage these materials if they aren’t protected. Without the proper shoe care routine, your suede boots, loafers, or sneakers could end up with watermarks, salt stains, or permanent scuffs.

Before you protect your shoes, it’s important to give them a thorough cleaning. The Shoe MGK Cleaner and Conditioner is formulated to lift dirt, grime, and stains from suede and nubuck without damaging their texture. Here’s how to use it effectively:

1. Remove surface dirt: Start by brushing off any loose dirt or debris with a soft brush. Be gentle to avoid damaging the nap of the material.
2. Apply the cleaner: Dampen the brush and apply a small amount of the Shoe MGK Cleaner. Gently work the cleaner into the material using circular motions, focusing on stained or dirty areas.
3. Wipe away excess cleaner: Use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe off any remaining cleaner and moisture. Allow the shoes to air dry completely before moving on to the next step.

This cleaning process removes salt stains, mud, and grime that can accumulate during cold weather, restoring your shoes to their original look.

Once your shoes are clean, the next step is protection. Cold weather often means snow, slush, and rain, all of which can wreak havoc on unprotected suede and nubuck. The Shoe MGK Water and Stain Repellent provides a durable barrier that repels moisture and prevents stains from setting into the fabric.

Here’s how to apply it:

1. Hold the bottle at a distance: Hold the bottle about 6-8 inches from the surface of your shoes.
2. Spray evenly: Apply a light, even coat over the entire surface of the shoe, making sure to cover all areas, including seams and stitching.
3. Let it dry: Allow the shoes to dry for at least 24 hours in a well-ventilated area. For maximum protection, apply a second coat.

The Shoe MGK Water and Stain Repellent forms a protective shield against water and snow, so you can confidently step out in any weather without worrying about damage.
