Care

Exotic leather lasts for years with a little care. Here is how to look after your pair.

01

After wearing

Wipe the shoes with a soft dry cloth and put cedar shoe trees in straight away to hold the shape and draw out moisture.

02

Conditioning

Every month or two, use a small amount of conditioner made for exotic leather. Work it in with the scales, never against them.

03

Polishing

Use a neutral or matching cream polish and buff with a horsehair brush. Avoid heavy wax on nubuck and ostrich.

04

Rain

If they get wet, blot gently, fit shoe trees and let them dry at room temperature, away from heaters.

05

Rest

Give each pair a day off between wears so the leather can breathe and keep its shape.

06

Storage

Keep the pair in its dust bags, out of direct sun, with shoe trees in. Resoling is possible thanks to the Goodyear welt.
