Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box with no break-in period usually required due to their mule configuration. To maintain the leather upper, wipe down the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. If the shoes become soiled, use a designated leather cleaner applied to a cloth—avoid submerging them in water or using harsh laundry detergents. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the leather from cracking or warping over time.
