Care Guide

Regular Maintenance
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after daily wear. Use a quality leather conditioner every 4–6 weeks to maintain the genuine leather finish and preserve suppleness.

Cleaning & Protection
Use color-appropriate leather cream—black cream for black shoes, brown cream for dark brown shoes. For the clean toe area and stitching, use a soft brush to gently clean details. Avoid harsh solvents that can damage the leather.

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.

Pigskin Insole & Genuine Leather Lining Care
The pigskin insole and genuine leather lining will develop character with extended daily wear—this is natural and part of premium quality. Periodically brush gently to remove dust. A qualified cobbler can replace the insole after extended use if necessary.

Stitching & Construction Maintenance
Inspect the handmade stitching periodically. A qualified cobbler can reinforce stitching if needed after years of daily use. The handmade construction is durable but benefits from periodic care.

Thick Sole Maintenance
The rubber sole will develop natural patina with extended daily wear—this is authentic and part of casual aesthetic. Gentle cleaning maintains appearance and traction. A qualified cobbler can replace the sole when significant wear becomes visible.
