If there is a tear in the fabric, it will be reduced to the circumference of the square. As it is a lightweight material, it is often used in outdoor activities, which requires strong technical expertise. Suede is made from the underside of cowhide that has been previously brushed to make it softer and more flexible. It comes from farms in southern Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul). It is tanned in Brazil, respecting REACH regulations. Special attention is paid to the use of water during the tanning process. The suede is also coated with PFC-free (chemical compounds) water-repellent oils to protect the shoes from light rain.-Synthetic
