Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the pristine condition of your leather and snakeskin sneakers.
- Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and exotic skins before first wear. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
- Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Snakeskin Care: Use a very soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe snakeskin areas *in the direction of the scales* to prevent lifting. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Drying: Always air dry sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not use a dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the leather and snakeskin.
