Care Guide

Product Care: Preserving Your Footwear
Our sneakers are meticulously crafted from premium materials, designed to serve as enduring classics in your wardrobe. To preserve the pristine condition of the leather and the elegant silhouette of the footwear, we strongly recommend that you adhere to the following professional care guidelines.

Pre-Treated for Daily Wear:
For your convenience, your sneakers have been treated with a premium water-repellent finish. This protective layer allows light splashes, spills, and drizzle to bead directly off the surface. While highly resistant to daily elements, please note that the materials are not completely waterproof and should never be fully submerged.

The Golden Rule: Avoid Machine Washing:
Under no circumstances should your sneakers be placed in a washing machine or dryer.

Premium leather requires delicate handling. Submerging the shoes in water, subjecting them to harsh washing machine cycles, or exposing them to excessive heat (such as a tumble dryer or radiator) will severely compromise the leather and break down the structural adhesives. This will inevitably result in sole separation and a permanent loss of the shoe's shape.

Routine Maintenance:
Surface Cleaning: After wearing, gently remove surface dust and dirt using a soft-bristled brush or a dry microfiber cloth.
Spot Treatment: For minor scuffs on smooth leather, lightly dampen a soft cloth with room-temperature water and a mild leather cleanser. Dab the affected area gently. Never scrub or rub aggressively.
Suede Accents: For designs featuring suede or nubuck detailing, strictly avoid water on those specific areas. Use a dedicated suede eraser and a stiff-bristled suede brush to lift stains and maintain the nap's texture.
Shoelace Care: For a thorough clean, remove the laces entirely and soak them separately in a mild, soapy solution to lift dirt and restore brightness.
Insole Care: Remove the insoles and gently scrub them using a soft-bristled brush and a mild cleanser. Ensure they are completely air-dried before reinserting them into the shoe.
Natural Drying: Always allow your footwear to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources.
Long-Term Preservation:
Maintain the Shape: When not in use, insert cedar shoe trees or acid-free tissue paper into the toe box. This prevents creasing and absorbs natural moisture, ensuring the sneakers retain their original form.
Re-Proofing: The factory water-repellent treatment will naturally diminish with regular wear. We advise lightly misting the exterior with a reputable water and stain protectant spray every few months to restore its defense against the elements.
With proper care, your sneakers will age beautifully and develop a unique, personalized patina over time. Should you require further assistance with product care, our client service team is always at your disposal.
