Care Instructions
Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your leather sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush or sponge. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
- Drying: Always air dry sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent leather damage.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, particularly important for the white leather.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.
