Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine appearance of your leather shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the matte leather surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the patent leather toe cap, a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry polish with a soft cloth will restore its shine.
- Conditioning: Use a high-quality leather conditioner suitable for black leather every few months to keep the matte leather supple and prevent cracking. Avoid conditioners on patent leather unless specifically designed for it.
- Polishing: Apply a black shoe polish specifically for matte leather to maintain color and shine on the main body of the shoe. For the patent leather, a patent leather cleaner and shiner can be used.
- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before initial wear.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in their original dust bag or a breathable fabric bag to prevent dust accumulation and scratches.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
