Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vagabond Shoemakers STEVEN shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before wearing them outside for the first time, apply a leather-specific water and stain repellent spray to guard against moisture.
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe away dust and dirt after each wear using a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry one.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 1-2 months to keep the leather hydrated and prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoes maintain their structural integrity and absorb excess moisture.
- Compatibility: These shoes are true-to-size for standard adult foot dimensions. They pair best with thin-to-medium thickness cotton or wool blend socks.
