Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Highwood shoes last, follow these care steps:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the shoe feels snug but comfortable; the aniline leather will soften and conform to your foot over time.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness of the upper and preserve its natural sheen. Avoid harsh soaps or solvents.
- Footbed Maintenance: Periodically remove the Deep Blue Footbed to allow it to air out; if the footbed becomes soiled, wipe it down gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading or cracking. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape when not in use.
