Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the quality and appearance of your leather and nubuck Samba LT shoes. Follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and nubuck before first wear. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Regular Cleaning (Leather): Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
- Regular Cleaning (Nubuck T-Toe): Use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a nubuck eraser or specialized cleaner should be used carefully.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Conditioning (Leather): Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent drying or cracking. Follow product instructions.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
