Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the premium look and extend the life of your leather sneakers.
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a high-quality leather protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains.
- Lace Care: The cotton laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water if they become dirty. Allow them to air dry completely.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in the branded dustbag provided, in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Using shoe trees can help preserve their original shape and prevent creasing.
