Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 1890s remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines. Since the upper is constructed from linen, it is susceptible to staining; avoid wearing them in muddy or excessively wet environments. To clean, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the textile and synthetic overlays. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth—avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the midfoot to leverage the built-in arch support effectively.
