Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sneakers arrive ready to wear. To ensure longevity, use a shoehorn when putting them on to protect the heel structure. For cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt and follow with a high-quality leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using shoe trees to maintain their shape. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the leather finish and the adhesive components.
