Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes require no initial setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility:
Ideal for adult males. These shoes pair well with a variety of casual and smart-casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive water.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically (every 2-3 months, or as needed) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a conditioner specifically designed for oiled and waxed leathers if possible.
- Protection: For added water and stain resistance, consider using a leather protector spray suitable for the type of leather.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid storing in plastic, as leather needs to breathe.
