Care Guide

Daily & Weekly Maintenance

Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after casual wear. Use a soft brush to gently remove dust from the upper and perforated toe box area. Air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat.

Cleaning & Protection

Use gentle leather cream on the brown leather upper every 4–6 weeks. Avoid harsh solvents that can damage the leather. For stubborn stains, dry cleaning is recommended. Allow to air-dry completely after any cleaning.

Storage & Drying

Air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight. Insert shoe trees to maintain round toe shape and absorb interior moisture. Store in a breathable dust bag away from humidity.

Leather Character Development

The brown leather upper will naturally develop character with extended wear—creases and color variations enhance the retro aesthetic. These changes are normal and part of authentic aging. Gentle brushing maintains appearance without damaging the leather.

Perforated Toe Box Care

The perforated area may collect dust—gentle brushing keeps it clean. The perforations are part of the design signature and develop authentic character with wear.

Pigskin Insole Care

The insole will gradually conform to foot shape with extended wear—this is normal and part of the comfort development. If significant compression occurs after extended use, a qualified cobbler can replace it.

Rubber Sole Maintenance

The rubber sole develops natural character with wear. Gentle cleaning maintains appearance while the patina enhances the retro aesthetic. A qualified cobbler can replace when significant wear becomes visible.
