Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, start by wearing the shoes for short durations to allow your foot muscles to adapt to the lack of support. Since these are leather shoes, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy water or mud to preserve the material. Clean the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. If the shoes become saturated, remove the inserts and stuff them with newspaper to help them retain their shape while drying.
