Care Tips
- Remove everyday dust and dirt: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift away dry dirt from the microfibre upper after each wear.
- Spot clean with care: For light marks or scuffs, take a clean, damp cloth and carefully wipe the affected areas. Avoid soaking the material, and dab rather than rub to preserve the delicate laser-cut embroidery.
- Air dry at room temperature: If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources such as radiators or strong sunlight, which may dry out or distort the materials.
- Maintain the sole’s flexibility: Periodically flex the Tulip rubber sole with your hand to keep it supple, particularly after long walks or in colder weather.
- Avoid harsh cleaning products: Use only water or the mildest soap if necessary. Strong detergents or household cleaners may damage the microfibre or compromise the glue-free construction.
- Store with care: When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or the original tissue to help them retain their shape.
