HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SHOES
Caring for your shoes depends on the material used.
Please take care of each shoe in a way that is appropriate for the material.
Natural Leather (Smooth Leather)
- Remove dust from the surface with a brush.
- Apply a small amount of cleaner to a soft cloth and gently wipe the entire upper to remove dirt.
If mud gets on the shoes, allow it to dry first and remove it with a brush. Lightly dampen the soiled area and gently clean it with a leather shoe shampoo. - If cleaned with leather shoe shampoo, place paper inside the shoes to help maintain their shape, then allow them to dry completely in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
- After removing dirt, or once the shoes are completely dry after cleaning, apply a thin, even layer of shoe cream in black, white, or neutral that matches the color of the shoes. Wipe off any excess cream with a soft cloth, then polish with a shoe care brush.
*Washing natural leather with water may cause hardening, deformation, color fading, or changes in texture. Avoid washing the entire shoe with water and clean the shoes before dirt becomes difficult to remove.
Natural Leather (Suede, Nubuck, or Velour Leather)
- Remove dust and dirt trapped between the fibers with a brush designed for napped leather.
- For heavier dirt, gently rub the area with an eraser designed for napped leather. For stains or dirt that are difficult to remove, use a cleaner designed for napped leather and gently wipe with a soft cloth.
- After cleaning, allow the shoes to dry completely in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
- Once dry, brush the surface with a brush designed for napped leather to restore the nap.
*Washing napped leather with water may affect its texture. Avoid washing it with water.

- Before using any shoe care product, test it on an inconspicuous area and make sure it does not affect the material.
- Natural leather may show variations in wrinkles, creases, and grain from pair to pair. Its appearance and texture may also change depending on wear and storage conditions. These are characteristics of the natural leather, giving each pair its own unique appearance.
