Care Instructions
Proper care will preserve the durable leather upper and overall condition of your sneakers for years to come:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly according to the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner periodically. This is especially important if the shoes get wet or are exposed to dry conditions.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Outsole Care: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap and water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creases.
