Care Instructions
Clean regularly with a soft horsehair brush or microfiber cloth to remove dust and dirt. Apply high-quality leather conditioner to maintain the richness and suppleness of both leather tones. Use cedar shoe trees after each wear to preserve shape and absorb moisture. Store in a dust bag away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Care and Character
Your shoes will naturally mold to your feet, creating a fit uniquely yours. Protect them from prolonged moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive heat, condition the leather regularly, and allow them to rest between wears.
Preserve the richness of the leather by gently brushing away surface dust, then finishing with a premium polish and nourishing wax to reveal its natural brilliance.
Personalization
Every pair can be tailored to your preferences at no additional charge, including heel height (up to one extra inch), half-size adjustments using in-sock fitting, leather finish (matte or polished), and color selection. Subject to availability, leather soles may also be substituted with rubber soles, or vice versa. As every pair is hand-finished, slight variations in color are part of its unique character.
