Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather shoes, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance. Upon initial wear, expect the leather to feel slightly stiff; it will soften and contour to your foot shape after several uses. To maintain them, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove dust and debris. We recommend using a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking. Store your MARIO shoes with cedar shoe trees to help them retain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use. Ensure they are kept in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to become brittle.
