Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes last, always use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the heel counter. Since the primary material is leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. For regular care, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape.
