Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Allerdale shoes.
Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Conditioning: Regularly apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent drying and cracking, and maintain its natural luster. Apply a small amount with a clean cloth and buff gently.
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 like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
Laces: Inspect laces periodically for wear and replace if necessary.
