Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Halewood shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Wear: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place using cedar shoe trees to help maintain the shoe's shape and absorb interior moisture.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris after each wear.
- Maintenance: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple and maintain the integrity of the waterproof barrier.
- Weather Protection: While waterproof, avoid prolonged submersion in water; if the shoes become saturated, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
