General Care Tips:
Your beautiful shoes are made of leather. To maintain their shine, we recommend careful maintenance, which should begin as soon as you receive them:
- Have a protective sole added under your leather soles by a cobbler. Leather is a noble material, but it can wear out. This will also help keep your shoes in excellent condition over time and prevent slipping on certain surfaces!
- Waterproof all leathers except glitter and fine glitter (upon receipt and then about once every three months).
Then, adjust these care tips based on the materials:
Suede:
Here’s a tip for cleaning a stain on your suede. You will need: a suede sponge, suede brush, medium sandpaper, colorless renovator, F solvent, Hussard stain remover, and an eraser.
- Brush the shoe to remove dirt.
- Repeat the process by rubbing more vigorously with the suede sponge to remove deep impurities.
- Rub the stain with sandpaper or lightly sand the entire shoe in the direction of the fibers if it's stained all over. For small areas, rub in circular motions.
- Brush again.
- Apply a bit of solvent to a paper towel and rub the stain.
- Use an eraser to remove any residue.
- For the inner suede, use Hussard stain remover, applying it with a paper towel and rubbing gently.
- Spray with renovator from 20 cm away and let dry.
Smooth Leather:
- Clean with cleansing milk, then apply moisturizing cream (like hand cream).
- Waterproof regularly.
Patent Leather:
- Clean with cleansing milk, and that's it!
Fine Glitter and Glitter:
- Dust with a soft cloth, and optionally, use a suede brush to clean more thoroughly.
Hair-on Leather:
- Do not apply anything, as this material is very delicate.
Reptile and Metallic Leathers:
- Dust gently with a soft cloth.
