Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions.
- Polishing: Use a matching brown shoe polish to restore color and shine, buffing with a soft brush or cloth.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is recommended to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
