Materials
Nubuck leather
The outer material of the Salomon X Ward Leather Mid GTX is made of nubuck leather. Nubuck leather comes from the lightly sanded top layer of animal skin. Sanding makes the leather feel softer, increases breathability and gives the leather a velvety appearance. Nubuck leather can be waxed, but it can also be left untreated. Waxing nubuck leather will make it darker, smoother and shinier. When you spray nubuck leather with a spray containing wax, you treat this material in the best way.
Mesh
The outer material of the Salomon X Ward Leather Mid GTX is made of mesh. Mesh is a synthetic material that is made in different shapes. The use of mesh makes the shoe light, flexible and highly breathable.
