FAQs
How do I protect the leather before the first wear?
Apply a suitable leather protecting spray evenly over the entire leather surface. Ensure you follow the instructions on the product's label and allow it to dry completely.
Can I wash these sneakers in a machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the construction of the shoe.
What type of leather cleaner should I use?
Use a cleaner specifically formulated for smooth leather. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on wear and climate. Generally, every 3-6 months is a good guideline, or whenever the leather feels dry.
Are these suitable for winter weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these hi-top sneakers are primarily designed for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy snow or ice, consider weather-specific footwear.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.
Do these sneakers come in other colors?
This guide specifically covers the Brown/Cognac variant. Please check other product listings for available color options.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a good quality leather conditioner and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary.
Scuff marks on leather
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your leather type. For minor scuffs, a leather cream or balm might suffice.
Soles showing signs of wear
Ensure you are not using the sneakers for activities beyond their intended casual use. Professional sole repair may be an option for significant wear.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, condition the leather. For severe staining, consult a professional leather care specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Protection:
Before your first use, it is recommended to protect the leather with a suitable waterproofing or protecting spray. This helps guard against stains and moisture.
Routine Cleaning:
- Dry Dirt Removal: Use a soft brush to gently remove any dry dirt or dust from the surface.
- Deeper Cleaning: For more significant dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
- Conditioning: After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.
Drying:
Allow the sneakers to dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
