Taking care of the suede leather
1. Place your pair of shoetree stretched shoe shoes in the shoe
2. Brush your shoe with a natural crepe brush to remove impurities deeply
3. Use a cleaning foam with a soft brush such as a scraper, making sure that the foam penetrates deeply into the skin and then let it rest.

To maintain the shape
Every gesture is important when you want to maintain the shape of your shoe.
We are committed to guiding you in choosing the right actions to adopt or avoid!
Actions to avoid
- We recommend that you avoid wearing velvet calf shoes in rainy weather
- Do not clean your shoe with water (except in isolated cases), moistening the skin can leave marks but also deform the upper.
- If the sole wears out, do not wait until the seams are too damaged, you risk irreversibly damaging your shoe.
- A long period of exposure to humidity or sunlight can discolour and distort your pair, we suggest you choose a place away from light and dry.
- It is important in case of tasks not to let it get stuck, do not hesitate to send us an email or consult a shoemaker directly.
The right conditions
- It is important to let your shoe breathe, so it is important not to wear your pair for several days in a row.
- In order to keep the shape of your shoe it is important to insert shoetrees that will stretch the shape and reform it, ideally think about putting them on as soon as you do not use your pair.
- Reserve your velvet calf shoes for the less humid days in order to protect the most sensitive skins
- We recommend that you have a skate or iron installed as soon as the soleplate starts to wear out in order to protect it
- Pamper your shoes when you can by feeding them, dusting them and cleaning them thoroughly with quality products.
Appropriate accessories
Shoe trees
Shoe trees: We have chosen to offer you shapes in cedar, a noble wood with many virtues for the good conservation of the shoe. Adapted to your size, the shoetree never gets damaged and helps to fight humidity, stem deformation, as well as bad smells. In slow drying, it will allow your shoe to recover moisture without deforming the leather. It will also be an ally for feet that are too tightly stretched by stretching the leather to relieve you of the stress of the first few ports.
waterproofer
Waterproofer: Essential in case of rain, it is also essential to avoid stains, so it is the guarantee of a clean shoe. Our leathers are treated against moisture however to ensure greater efficiency, we recommend that you use them once a month/ once every two months in dry weather.
Our luxury polishes
The polish nourishes the skin of your shoe to restore its shine and revive its color. It is also an interesting complement to the waterproofing agent to minimize the impact of splashes on the shoe. Transparent polishing is preferable for shoes with a contrasting patina so as not to take the risk of colouring your pair. Choose black polish for black shoes, as well as cognac polish for skins of the same colour. Use the shoe polish once the shoes are on the shoe shoes and in circular movements without drowning the shoe with the help of a small cloth or, ideally, a chamoisine.
The cleaning foam
The cleaning foam is essential for the deep cleaning of your pair and suede, easy to use it adapts to all skin colors without changing its appearance. Ideal after brushing her shoe, she will also nourish the skin. Finish the cleaning by waterproofing and let stand for one hour.
In case of encrusted stains, make sure to ask your shoemaker for advice.
