Osaka 151 Navy Woven Suede

The Schuberts Osaka Navy reimagines the classic ballet flat with a focus on contemporary texture and modern lines.

Paired with a stylish, gently squared toe, this design detail creates a shoe that feels both current and timeless, offering an easy way to add a touch of considered style to any outfit.

The deep navy hue makes the Osaka a wonderfully versatile addition to a modern wardrobe, serving as a chic alternative to traditional black or neutral shades. It pairs as effortlessly with wide-leg linen trousers for a polished weekend look as it does with a simple dress for a day in the city. For those who appreciate subtle details and wearable design, the Schuberts Osaka 151 Navy provides a perfect foundation for building stylish, everyday looks season after season.

Care Tips

·         To maintain the distinctive woven texture and deep navy finish of the Osaka 151 Navy, a thoughtful care routine is recommended. Regular attention will help preserve both the shoe's appearance and comfortable fit.

• Cleaning
  Routine Dusting: Gently brush the woven upper with a soft-bristled shoe brush after wear. This helps remove loose dust and dry dirt from the basket-weave crevices without disturbing the surface detail.
  Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to dab the affected area carefully. Avoid rubbing vigorously or using excess water, as this may affect the material’s finish. Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat.
•   Maintenance
  Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality, neutral protector spray to the upper if suitable for suede or textile. Reapply as needed to help guard against everyday moisture and superficial stains.
  Binding Care: Take particular care not to use harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage both the woven texture and the elasticity of the ribbed trim.
