Care Instructions
The leather upper requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
- Stain Removal: Address spills and stains immediately. Dab gently with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: If wet, allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This helps prevent the leather from drying out and cracking over time.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the sneaker when not in use.
