Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather Gazelle Indoor sneakers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Gently wipe down the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
- For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the leather.
- Caring for the Gum Sole:
- Clean the gum midsole and outsole with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water.
- Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as excessive heat can cause leather to crack or stiffen.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are worn frequently or exposed to varying weather conditions.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Water Immersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge these leather shoes in water.
