To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your leather Derby shoes, follow these care guidelines:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe shoes with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and dirt.
Polishing: Use a quality black shoe polish specifically for leather. Apply sparingly with a cloth or brush, allow to dry, then buff to a shine with a clean cloth.
Conditioning: Every few months, apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is crucial for the durable black leather upper.
Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
Storage: Store shoes with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the leather and its finish.
