Care Instructions & Repairs

Different shoes need different care, so we made this handy guide for keeping your shoes clean and looking their best!

SUEDE / NUBUCK LEATHER:

  • Be gentle when cleaning your suede and nubuck products. Use a rubber eraser to remove dirt and smudges. Then brush lightly with a soft brush.
  • Be mindful and brush in the same direction so as to reduce the appearance of it being two different colours.
  • Never use a wire brush or polish on suede or nubuck (some suede brushes do have a wire in the center, which is specifically made for use on suede).

FULL GRAIN / HI SHINE LEATHER:

  • Gently wipe with a dry muslin cloth to remove any dried-on dirt and dust. Then dampen the cloth with warm water and wipe again.
  • Allow to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight and direct heat sources that can dry out the leather.

PATENT LEATHER:

  • Use a soft damp cloth and a drop of mild soap to remove any haze, dirt or grime.
  • Then follow up with a dry muslin cloth to absorb any excess liquid.
  • A patent leather cleaner that contains silicone will return the high gloss.

VEGAN LEATHER:

  • Begin by using a dry microfibre cloth to remove stains and dirt, followed by a soft bristle brush.
  • If necessary, you can dampen the microfibre cloth and rub to remove stains. Let your shoes dry naturally and away from direct sunlight.

SATIN:

  • Waterproof upper with waterproofing spray after covering any embellishments.

EMBELLISHED & EMBROIDERED

  • Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and stains on stones and crystals. Be sure to be gentle, as to avoid loosening the embellishments.
  • Allow it to dry naturally and away from direct sunlight.
  • Embroidered uppers must be gently wiped with a dry microfibre cloth so as to thoroughly clean your shoes.

WEATHERPROOFING

  • To weatherproof your shoes, we suggest a non-silicone spray or a rain/stain repellent.
