New from the nice people at Grangers - friends to battered boots
and fabrics everywhere - is a dedicated 'Suede and Nubuck Restorer'
which is approved for use on Gore-Tex-lined footwear..
It's
in the shops now and is, say Grangers, the result of 'extensive
research and development to extend the life, comfort and performance
of suede and nubuck footwear'.
The restorer is water based to prevent the suede or nubuck from
drying out, contains ingredients designed to condition. nourish and
protect and while it penetrates deep into the leather, it says here,
won't clog the pores of the material and potentially impair
breathability and water resistance.
It's also reckoned to make scratches and abrasions less visible,
which is nice. We've been using the standard Grangers leather
conditioner and it's excellent, softening and restoring life to boots
in near rigor mortis condition, so if the new stuff works as well, it
should be good. We'll give it a whirl and let you know shortly.
In the mean time, you can get more information from the Granger's
web site or by calling 01773 521521.
