To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your premium leather Howard Walk shoes, follow these care instructions:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to the product's instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner regularly (e.g., monthly, or as needed based on use) to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its luster.
Polishing: Use a black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply in a circular motion, let dry, then buff with a soft brush or cloth.
Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector specifically designed for leather to guard against the elements. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.
Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
