After each wear, gently brush the uppers with a soft cloth or horsehair brush to lift dust and grit—tiny particles are the #1 cause of scuffs. Got caught in drizzle? Blot water stains with a barely damp cloth, stuff the shoes with neutral-colour paper to hold their shape, and let them air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight; heat cracks leather, shade keeps it supple. Rotate every other day; 48 h rest lets perspiration evaporate and leather fibres rebound, adding ~30 % extra life before the first re-condition. Deep Care Clean: dab a colourless leather cleaner onto a soft cloth, work into a light lather over toe creases and heel counters; wipe away residue with a second damp cloth and air-dry 30 min. Feed: when leather feels matte, apply a thin film of neutral mink oil or plant-based cream, starting at the toe, sparing the stitching; allow 15 min absorption, then buff with a cloth to a natural glow. Protect: mist a water-based repellent from 20 cm the night before heavy wear; re-spray every 2–3 weeks to maintain an invisible barrier against coffee spills and puddle splashes. Storage Before shelving, complete the full clean-feed routine, insert cedar shoe trees or acid-free paper to prevent collapse. Slip into the provided cotton dust bag, park in a cool, dry, dark cabinet; add a silica pack nearby, but never touching the leather. Check monthly—if a faint mould dot appears, dab with 1:1 alcohol-water, air-dry, then re-oil; the spot vanishes and the hide stays healthy.
