Care Instruction
-
Brush and Clear the Holes: Use a horsehair brush to remove dirt, gently flicking the bristles into the decorative perforations to prevent build-up. Use a toothpick to clear away any trapped polish or wax.
-
Use Shoe Trees: Insert raw shoe trees immediately after every wear to absorb moisture, eliminate odor, and preserve the shoe's structure. Avoid wearing them two days in a row.
-
Condition and Air-Dry Safely: Apply a light leather conditioner every few weeks to prevent cracking, keeping it clear of the holes. If they get wet, pack them with newspaper and let them air-dry naturally—never use direct heat.
