To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your leather sneakers, follow these care guidelines:
Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt and dust.
Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, prevent drying, and maintain its flexibility. This helps prevent cracks and extends the material's life.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially if you plan to wear them in unpredictable weather.
Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or household detergents, as these can strip the leather's natural oils and cause damage.
