To maintain the premium leather, regularly clean with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream specific to smooth calf leather to nourish and protect the material, preventing dryness and cracking. For the rubber sole, a simple wipe-down is sufficient. Store them with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Thanks to the Norwegian Welt construction, these shoes can be resoled by a skilled cobbler when the sole eventually wears out, extending their life significantly.
