To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Clarks Aldwin Step Loafer, proper care of its leather material is essential:
Cleaning: Gently wipe off any dirt or dust with a soft, damp cloth immediately after wear. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., monthly, or as needed depending on usage) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This helps maintain the leather's natural oils.
Polishing: For black leather, use a black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a soft cloth, let it dry, and then buff to a shine.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially in unpredictable weather.
Drying: If the loafers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage the leather. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture from within. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Avoidance: Keep them away from harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, and prolonged direct sunlight.
