Your Romsey Lace shoes arrive ready to wear. Simply unlace them sufficiently, insert your foot, and then tighten the laces to achieve a comfortable, snug fit. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed and tied securely to prevent slipping or discomfort.

To ensure the longevity and maintain the appearance of your Romsey Lace leather shoes, follow these care steps:
Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: After each use, wipe off any surface dirt or dust with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth.
Deep Cleaning: Periodically, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months (depending on frequency of wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is crucial for hardwearing leather.
Polishing: For a renewed shine and to cover minor scuffs, apply a black shoe polish. Buff with a clean cloth or brush.
Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your leather shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
