How long does the waterproofing typically last?

Based on user feedback, the Geox Spherica™ EC1 ABX generally runs true to size. It's recommended to consult sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after first wear.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight.
Water is seeping into the shoes during heavy rain.
Check for any potential damage to the leather or seams. Reapply a quality leather waterproofing spray. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry.
The insole has become odorous or dirty.
Remove the insole and hand wash it with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
Slight stiffness in the leather after drying.
After air drying, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore suppleness. Buff gently with a soft cloth.

Care Instructions:

- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically apply a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to maintain the shoe's protective properties. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
