To maintain the premium look and longevity of your leather loafers, follow these care steps:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the high-shine leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner every few weeks (or as needed) to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its luster. Work the conditioner into the leather with a soft cloth in circular motions.
Polishing: For an extra shine, use a black leather polish. Apply a small amount with a clean cloth, let it dry, then buff to a high sheen.
Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear to protect against moisture and spills.
Storage: When not in use, store your loafers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing over time.
