Care Instructions
Due to the premium mixed materials (leather, nubuck, mesh, pony hair), specific care is essential to maintain the shoe's appearance and longevity.
- General Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher spots, lightly dampen a clean cloth with mild soap and water, then carefully dab the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Leather/Nubuck: Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner for leather sections. For nubuck, a dedicated nubuck brush and cleaner are recommended to prevent damage to the nap.
- Pony Hair: Spot clean very gently with a soft, damp cloth in the direction of the hair. Avoid rubbing vigorously or using abrasive cleaners.
- Mesh: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water for mesh areas. Allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or discoloration.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed materials to offer an extra layer of protection.
