How to Care
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
All-Weather Shield (Leather, Fabric, Suede)
Apply All-Weather spray in an even coat around the item. Allow your item to dry for 1/2 hour before re-applying or polishing. A monthly treatment should help protect from stains, water and salt damage.
CLEANING
Leather/Kid/Calf/Nappa
Minor stains can be removed with a cream polish. Apply black, brown, or neutral cream polish to a clean, soft cloth. Rub into the leather in small circular motions to moisturize the leather and release the dirt/stain. Once it is cleaned to your satisfaction, apply an even coat of all-weather shield to protect your item from future damage.
Patent Leather
Buff out minor smudges with a soft cloth.
Suede/Nubuck
Lightly go over the item with a brush to bring up the nap of the material. Take extra care with nubuck as the material is not as coarse as traditional suede. A suede block (or suede eraser) can be used to rub out some minor stains. All Weather Shield can also be used as a cleaning agent for water stains on suede products. Once the item is clean, use a brush or cloth to rub the nap in the opposite direction and treat with an even coat of All Weather Shield.
Fabric
A mild detergent, such as Woolite, dissolved with water and applied with a clean, soft cloth can be used to remove most minor stains.
Rubber/Jellies
Buff out minor smudges with a soft, damp cloth.
Exotics – Ostrich/Crocco/Peccary
Use the same cleaning recommendations as leather, but use extreme care. These materials can be more sensitive than calfskin. Always test any cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous piece of the material first.
TIPS/WARNINGS
Always test any cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous piece and check for any discoloration.
When brushing suede, be sure to start with a clean brush. After brushing, there may be some suede remnants in the bristles of your brush, so be sure to clean before switching to an item of another color.
Always use a clean cloth when polishing. If possible, keep a dedicated cloth for black and brown.
Take any major stains or scuffs to a reliable shoe repair shop. For our Bay Area customers, we recommend Anthony’s Shoe Service in San Francisco (415.781.1138).
