Care

A good leather shoe lasts longer with a simple routine.

The aim is not a fiddly ritual. It is a handful of reliable habits that protect the leather, the outsole and the professional look.

Routine

Dry slowly, clean regularly, feed the leather when it needs it.

Most damage comes down to heat, damp and neglect. A calm routine protects the shoe without adding to the team's workload.

Drying

Never force-dry the leather

Keep it away from radiators and direct heat. Air drying stops the leather from hardening.

Cleaning

Wipe off residue after service

A soft cloth and the right care products handle most everyday marks.

Rotation

Let the pair rest

Where you can, alternating pairs adds comfort and service life.
