Care Instruction
-
Give Them a Rest: Avoid wearing your leather Derby shoes two days in a row. Leather needs at least 24 hours to air out and release the moisture absorbed from your feet.
-
Use Shoe Trees: Insert raw cedar shoe trees immediately after taking your shoes off. Cedar absorbs moisture, eliminates odors, and pulls the leather back into its proper shape, preventing deep wrinkles and toe-curl.
-
Always Use a Shoe Horn: When putting on your Derbys, use a shoe horn. This prevents you from crushing or distorting the structured heel counter over time.
