Shoe Care and Use Guide
Shoe Care and Use Guide
- When putting on and taking off shoes, laces should be untied, and shoehorns should be used for shoes without laces.
- Your shoes should be the right size for your feet. Shoes that are too small or too big for your feet will cause problems such as premature deformation and lining tearing.
- Shoes should not be kept in humid environments.
- Wet shoes should be dried at room temperature. If they are dried under direct sunlight or any heat source, the adhesion points of the shoes may open, the leather may crack, stain and deform.
- Shoes made of nubuck or suede should be cleaned with a brush or eraser of appropriate hardness and should never be washed.
- Shoes should never be washed in a washing machine or by hand.
- Shoes with synthetic material in their inner lining are likely to smell and absorb water.
- The sweat absorbed by the shoes evaporates within 24 hours. Therefore, wearing the shoes at 1-day intervals will make the shoes last longer.
- Irremovable stains that may occur on shoes due to excessive sweating of the feet are not a manufacturing defect.
- Leather shoes should be polished with a natural polish or paint in their original color.
- Since shoes with or without inner lining are made of genuine leather, they do not contain chemical additives that may harm your health and the color of the leather may show on your feet and socks. Therefore, we recommend that you wear socks according to the lining color.
- Shoes must be ventilated to prevent possible odors and molds must be used to prevent deformation.
- It is natural for water to get in through the seams of shoes with hand-stitched uppers (called saddlery) and the areas where the sole and side leather meet. Therefore, it is not recommended to wear them in rainy weather.
- Any type of shoe can be waterproof in rainy and snowy weather unless it says "waterproof".
