Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing: The Michael series fits large. If you typically wear a UK 7, consider starting with a UK 6.5.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt after each wear. For deeper cleans, use a slightly damp cloth.
- Nourishment: Apply a high-quality leather cream or balm periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Protection: Use a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather to add an extra layer of defense against the elements.
- Storage: Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape and absorb moisture from the lining.
Warnings:
- Never machine wash your shoes as it can damage the structural integrity and the leather.
- Avoid drying near heat sources like radiators, as this causes the leather to dry out and stiffen.
