Care:
Regular Cleaning: For leather/suede sections, use a soft brush or specific cleaner designed for the material. For textile lining, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used.
Spot Cleaning: Address spills or dirt immediately. Blot excess moisture and clean the affected area gently.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for mixed materials (leather/suede) to help repel water and stains.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
