Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather sandals:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can crack or damage the leather. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape when not in use for extended periods.
Avoid Water: As leather sandals, they are not designed to be submerged in water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.
