Famaco Fa-Mat Matt Leather Cream — care that keeps the matt finish matt
Not every shoe is meant to shine. Matt and greased leathers — think casual boots, rugged brogues and outdoor shoes — have a soft, understated look that a high-gloss polish would ruin. That is exactly where Famaco Fa-Mat comes in. It cleans, feeds and conditions the leather while carefully preserving that natural matt appearance, so your shoes look cared-for rather than glossy.
Famaco is a family-run French maker with over eighty years of shoe-care expertise, and this little pot is a lovely example of their craft. The cream is made with carefully chosen ingredients that nourish the fibres, help prevent drying and cracking, and gently revive the depth of the colour. It sinks in without leaving a greasy residue, restoring softness and keeping the leather healthy for years to come.
Why choose Famaco Fa-Mat?
- Preserves the matt finish. It nourishes and refreshes without adding shine — perfect for matt and greased leathers.
- Cleans and cares in one step. Lifts light dirt while feeding the leather, so it does two jobs at once.
- Prevents drying and cracking. Regular use keeps the fibres supple and extends the life of your shoes.
- Revives colour depth. It brings back the natural richness of the leather without changing its character.
- Leaves no greasy residue. The cream absorbs cleanly, so shoes are ready to wear soon after.
How to use Famaco Fa-Mat
- Remove surface dirt with a soft brush or cloth.
- Take a small amount of cream on a clean, soft cloth.
- Apply it evenly across the leather, working it gently into the surface.
- Allow a few minutes for the cream to penetrate and nourish the fibres.
- Buff lightly with a clean cloth or soft brush to even out the finish — without bringing up a shine.
Haico’s tip: A little goes a long way with this cream. I use just a pea-sized amount per shoe and build up if needed — over-applying is the one thing that can leave streaks on matt leather. Treat your shoes every few weeks and they will keep that lovely, natural look season after season.
Good to know
Matt leather divides opinion, but I love it — it has a relaxed, characterful look that suits everything from country boots to smart-casual shoes. The trick to keeping it looking its best is resisting the urge to buff it up. A dedicated matt cream like Fa-Mat lets you clean and feed the leather without accidentally turning it glossy, which is exactly what an ordinary wax polish would do. Used sparingly and regularly, it keeps that lovely understated finish looking intentional rather than neglected.

Frequently asked questions
Will it make my shoes shiny?
No — that is the whole point. Fa-Mat is specially formulated to care for the leather while keeping the matt finish intact.
Can I use it on suede?
It is intended for matt and greased smooth leathers. For suede and nubuck, use a dedicated suede product instead.
Is it colourless or coloured?
This is a caring cream that revives the existing colour rather than re-dyeing; it does not add pigment.
