Nubuck leather
Nubuck comes from grain leather, the most natural and original leather, in which the outer part of the cowhide is maintained and treated. In this part (epidermis, or flower) the fibers are strongly united, making it more consistent, insulating and resistant to water, cold and wear. To obtain the velvety face look of nubuck leather, this top layer has been lightly sanded to its natural grain to open up the hair cells. The result is a leather with similar characteristics to full-grain leather, but softer, more breathable and with better absorption of water-repellent agents.
The GORE-TEX® lining is a system in itself, the main part of which is a stretched PTFE membrane, whose surface consists of millions of microscopic pores that gives it excellent breathability. The pores are large enough to allow vapor molecules that are created inside the boot (sweat) to pass through, but at the same time small enough to prevent water molecules (rain, snow, etc.) from passing through, making it waterproof.

The complete lining is made up of different functional layers, which protect the membrane, contribute to a long life of the inner lining, good absorption and evacuation of sweat, etc. Thanks to the different functional layers of the lining, there are different lining variants. GORE-TEX®, all waterproof and breathable.
