Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care is essential for extending the life of your leather footwear:
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. Use wooden shoe trees to help maintain the shape when not in use.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and debris with a soft cloth after each wear. Use a high-quality leather cream or polish matched to the black finish to nourish the material.
- Weatherproofing: While leather has natural resilience, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they become wet, stuff the insides with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally; never use a radiator or hair dryer.
- Compatibility: These shoes run true to standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a size 9, the Bennett 9 is designed to fit accordingly.
