Proper care can help maintain the appearance and comfort of your footwear. The following general care tips may help extend the life of your sandals, clogs, and casual shoes.

Please note that care methods may vary depending on the material of the product.

Leather Care

For leather footwear:

  • Avoid soaking leather in water.

  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally if they become wet.

  • Use a suitable leather conditioner occasionally to help maintain flexibility.

Do not expose leather shoes to excessive heat such as radiators or direct sunlight for long periods.

Suede & Nubuck Care

Suede and nubuck materials require gentle care.

  • Use a suede brush to remove dust and surface dirt.

  • Avoid water exposure when possible.

  • If stains occur, clean gently using products designed for suede materials.

Always allow suede footwear to dry naturally.
