Care Tips
- Protect the upper: Before your first wear, treat the soft leather and suede panels with a high-quality footwear protector spray to help guard against light rain and everyday marks.
- Maintain the leather and suede: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth after regular use. Apply a neutral cream suitable for both leather and suede periodically to keep the material supple and nourished.
- Clean the crochet: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dust from the woven sections. Spot clean minor marks with a lightly damp cloth, taking care not to snag the breathable threads.
