Setup, Compatibility & Care
When purchasing, ensure you select your correct UK adult size to accommodate the rigid leather structure. During the initial wearing phase, it is recommended to wear thick socks to prevent friction. To care for your 1461s, use a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and apply a high-quality leather balsam or cream regularly to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the natural leather and weaken the heat-sealed sole adhesive. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the sole and leather finish.
