Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the nubuck leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
- Laces: The rawhide laces can be wiped clean. If they become heavily soiled, they may need to be replaced.
- Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape.
