Daily Care: Protect Your Investment

  • Brush Off Day - After each wear, use a soft horsehair brush to remove dust and dirt.
  • Let Them Breathe - Never wear the same pair two days in a row. Resting your shoes prevents moisture buildup and extends their lifespan.
  • Use Cedar Shoe Trees - These absorb moisture, retain the shoe's shape, and prevent creasing. A must-have for premium leather footwear.

Cleaning: Restoring Pristine Beauty

  • Gentle cleansing - Wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a pH-balanced leather cleaner.
  • Conditioning Ritual - Leather needs nourishment. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracks.

Polishing Bring Out the Shine

  • Choose the Right Polish - Use a natural wax-based polish that matches your shoe color or a neutral polish for versality.
  • Apply in Thin Layers - Using a soft cotton cloth or applicator brush, apply a small amount in circular motions.
  • Buff to Protection - After 10 minutes, use a horsehair brush to buff the leather, revealing a deep, refined shine.

Waterproofing: Defense Against the Elements

  • Protective Barrier - Use a leather protector spray (silicone-free) to shield against rain and strains.
  • Avoid Water Damage - If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper, let them air dry at room temperature- never use direct heat.

Sole $ Edge Maintenance

  • Care for the Outsole - Clean leather soles with a damp cloth and apply a light coat of sole conditioner.
  • Edge Dressing - Use a high-quality edge polish to maintain the sharp, refined look of the welt and outsole.

Storage: Preserve the Prestige

  • Keep Them in a Dust Bag - Always store in a breathable shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation.
  • Ideal Environment - Avoid extreme heat, humidity, or direct sunlight to maintain the leather's integrity.
