The shoes are primarily constructed from 100% calfskin leather and 100% cotton, with suede detailing.

What is the 'Replica' series known for?

How do I maintain the leather components?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a suede eraser may be effective.
Leather shows scuffs or scratches.
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or conditioner matching the shoe's color can help.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is normal for new leather products. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Discoloration from water exposure.
If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Promptly address water stains on suede with appropriate cleaning methods.
