To ensure your crafted leather Aldwin Step Loafers maintain their premium appearance and last for years, follow these care instructions:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner every 1-2 months (or as needed) to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and avoid cracking. This is crucial for maintaining the mid tan color's richness.
Protection: Apply a water and stain protector specifically designed for leather before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture.
Drying: If your loafers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
Storage: When not in use, store your loafers with shoe trees to help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust.
