Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your leather and nubuck Samba LT shoes.
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Gently wipe the Sandstone leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
- Caring for the Nubuck T-Toe:
- Use a dedicated nubuck brush or eraser to gently lift dirt and restore the texture.
- Avoid getting nubuck excessively wet. If it does get wet, let it air dry naturally, then brush.
- Gum Sole Maintenance:
- Clean the gum sole with warm water and a mild soap, using a brush to scrub away dirt and debris.
- A Magic Eraser can also be effective for removing scuffs from the sole.
- Protection:
- Consider applying a leather and nubuck protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate wearing them in varying weather conditions.
- This helps repel water and stains.
- Drying:
- If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause cracking or fading.
- Storage:
- Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them retain their shape.
- Keep them away from direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent color fading.
