Cleaning and maintenance tips for oiled leather (Oil Suede)
-
Regular cleaning: Remove accumulated dirt or dust by gently brushing with a brush specifically for suede or split leather.
-
Oiled leather care (Oil Suede): Periodically apply a balm or product specifically for nourished/oiled leather to preserve the flexibility of the leather and replenish its protective layer. Using a protective waterproofing spray is recommended.
-
Elastic care: Avoid applying products directly to the textile elastic panels to preserve their original elasticity.
-
Drying at room temperature: If the interior gets damp, remove the insole and let it dry naturally in the shade in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct exposure to radiators, heaters, or intense sun to prevent the leather from stiffening or altering.
