ONLINE SHOPMATERIALS & CARE

We generally advise against cleaning our shoes in the washing machine. Unfortunately, the shoes are not made for this and will probably not survive the wash cycle unscathed.

LEATHER

• Natural Leather:: We are using not sanded full grain leather that allows the natural grain to ensure strength and let the material breathe. Even the most durable and highest quality leather will develop a natural patina over time.

  2. To maintain, apply full grain leather cream or conditioner regularly.
