The Pod MARLEY Leather Shoes are engineered for comfort and style in daily wear. The premium leather uppers are remarkably soft, minimizing break-in time and providing a glove-like fit that improves with age. This makes them ideal for extended periods of standing or walking.
The crepe effect gum rubber sole is a standout feature, offering excellent shock absorption and flexibility.

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Pod MARLEY Leather Shoes:
Cleaning the Leather Uppers:
Gently wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner following the product's instructions.
Apply a leather conditioner regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Cleaning the Crepe Sole:
Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to gently scrub away dirt from the crepe sole's textured surface.
Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Water Exposure: While durable, leather is not entirely waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to dry naturally.
