Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a dust bag to maintain their shape and color.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them around the house with thick socks to help stretch the leather slightly. For persistent tightness, consider using shoe stretchers.
Pink color fading or scuffing
Clean with a mild leather cleaner. For scuffs, a color-restoring polish or marker specific to the shoe's color might help. Apply a protective spray regularly.
Soles becoming detached
For minor detachment, a strong adhesive like shoe glue can be used. For significant damage, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with new ones. You can choose to replace them with the original style or a complementary color.
