Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your premium leather trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to product instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural luster. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply as directed by the product manufacturer.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Insole Care: While Ortholite insoles are anti-odor, occasionally remove them to air out the shoes and insoles. If necessary, gently hand wash insoles with mild soap and water, then air dry completely.
