Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. A leather conditioner should be applied periodically.

It indicates that the shoes have been manufactured in Italy, a region renowned for its high standards of luxury footwear craftsmanship and quality materials.
Can the leather sole be made more slip-resistant?
Yes, you can have a professional cobbler add a thin rubber sole protector to enhance grip on smooth or wet surfaces.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and dirt after each wear. For more stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner sparingly every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Use a waterproof spray specifically designed for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially in adverse weather.
- Storage: When not in use, store the shoes in the provided dust bag to protect them from scratches and dust. Stuffing with shoe trees (preferably cedar) will help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
