Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Valentino Garavani loafers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Storage: Always use cedar shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape of the leather and absorb moisture.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove surface dust. Apply a high-quality leather cream regularly to keep the nappa leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Weather Protection: Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain. If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Sole Maintenance: If you find the leather sole is too slippery, consider having a cobbler apply a thin rubber sole guard to increase traction without compromising the aesthetic.
