Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Cortez shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a mild leather cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water. Apply with a soft cloth and gently rub the stained area. Wipe off excess moisture immediately.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the conditioner product's instructions for application.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for white leather.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
- Outsole Care: Clean the herringbone outsole with a soft brush and water to remove debris and maintain traction.
