Recommendations for Cleaning and Maintenance According to Leather Types
Classic Leather
Dye the shoes with the same color or use natural polish.
Nubuck and Suede Leather
Just brush periodically with a nubuck/suede brush or use rubber or special spray for nubuck/suede. If any spots on the nap resist the brush, don't work too hard on the spot.
Patent Leather
Wiping with a damp cloth is a quick and easy way to clean off general dirt. Don’t dye or polish the shoes.
PLEASE NOTE;
• Untie the shoes while putting on and taking off. Use shoehorn for unlaced shoes. Otherwise, the back side of the shoe could be broken and this will disturb the heel of the foot while walking.
