Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, adjust the riptape strap so it is snug but not restrictive across the midfoot. These shoes are designed as standard school footwear and are compatible with most standard school socks or tights. To care for the patent leather, simply use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or polishes as they may damage the gloss finish. If the interior becomes damp, remove the footbed if possible and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen.
