Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather loafers:
- Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the black leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Conditioning: Regularly apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are frequently exposed to dry conditions.
- Drying: If the loafers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and water to remove dirt and debris, which helps maintain grip.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
