Care Instructions
The pony hair and leather construction requires gentle care to maintain its appearance.
- Cleaning the Pony Hair Upper:
- *Gentle Brush*: Use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush or a soft toothbrush) to gently brush off loose dirt or dust in the direction of the hair.
- *Damp Cloth (Spot Clean)*: For minor marks, lightly dampen a clean, soft cloth with water (and a tiny drop of mild soap, if necessary) and dab the affected area. Do *not* rub vigorously, as this can damage the hair.
- *Avoid Harsh Chemicals*: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or direct water streams, which can strip natural oils and damage the material.
- Cleaning Leather Details:
- Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a leather-specific cleaner as directed by the product.
- Drying:
- Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection:
- Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for pony hair or delicate leather to add a layer of protection against moisture and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage:
- Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
