Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility:
These shoes are designed for adult male wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. Due to the unique nature of the hair-on material, they are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.
Care:
Caring for the Hair-On leather requires specific attention:
- Brushing: Use a soft brush to gently remove dust and debris. Brush in the direction of the hair.
- Cleaning: For stains or dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid excessive water. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner designed for suede or nubuck may be appropriate, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Avoid traditional leather conditioners as they can damage the hair. Specialized products for Hair-On or suede may be used sparingly if needed, following product instructions.
- Protection: Consider a protective spray suitable for natural hair/suede to help repel water and stains, but ensure it is compatible with this material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape.
