Given the leather upper, proper care is essential to maintain the shoes' appearance and longevity:
Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. Follow product instructions carefully.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a product suitable for footwear.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially in inclement weather.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry your leather Vans Knu Skool shoes.
