To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your premium leather Orinoco 3 Derby shoes, follow these care steps:
Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth.
Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Polishing: Use a black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a soft cloth, let it dry, then buff to a shine.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially if you anticipate wearing them in varied weather conditions.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
