Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.

Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to product instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is crucial for maintaining the shoe's appearance and durability.
Polishing: Use black shoe polish to restore shine and cover any minor scuffs. Apply sparingly and buff with a soft cloth or brush.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially in inclement weather. Note: The shoes are not explicitly waterproof.
Storage: Store shoes with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
