Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or color.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
