Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of your leather and textile sneakers.
- Cleaning the Upper (Leather & Textile):
- Gently wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
- For tougher marks on the leather, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
- For the textile areas, a gentle brush and mild soap solution can be used, taking care not to saturate the material.
- Crocodile Embossed Texture: Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the embossed pattern.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) with mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to the leather sections to help repel water and stains. Ensure the product is suitable for both leather and textile if applied broadly.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
