Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mocassino Stringato shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your specific foot shape.
- Storage: Always use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape and draw out excess moisture.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth. For the ponyhair section, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust in the direction of the hair growth.
- Maintenance: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid heat sources like radiators to dry the shoes if they get wet; let them air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
- Re-soling: When the rubber sole shows significant wear, take the shoes to a professional cobbler who specializes in welted or traditional construction to ensure the integrity of the original design is maintained.
