Care Instructions
To keep your Kickers Kick Low Core Patent Shoes looking their best and to extend their lifespan, follow these care tips:
- Regular Cleaning: For patent leather, wipe shoes regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Scuff Marks: For persistent scuffs on patent leather, a small amount of petroleum jelly or a specialized patent leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth can often help buff them out. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
- Polishing (Optional): Traditional shoe polish is not typically used on patent leather. Instead, use a patent leather conditioner or a very small amount of silicone spray on a soft cloth to restore shine if needed.
- Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
