To ensure the longevity and maintain the rich appearance of your leather shoes, follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream every few weeks or as needed, especially if the leather appears dry. This will keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and restore its luster.
Polishing: Use a black shoe polish to cover minor scuffs and enhance the shine. Buff with a soft brush or cloth.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
Outsole: The TPR outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth as needed.
