Shearling is a natural material, valued for its luxurious feel and warming properties. Please note that the fine lambskin may occasionally shed some color if it absorbs a lot of moisture – for example, due to heavy perspiration.

To optimally preserve the high quality and comfort, we recommend regularly airing out the shoes and, if necessary, combining them with a fine, breathable sock. This way, your shearling shoe will remain a stylish and loyal companion for many occasions.

When caring for shoes with buckles, we recommend carefully covering the buckles before applying a waterproofing spray. This prevents the metal surfaces from being damaged or discolored, thus preserving their shine. Adhesive tape or a small piece of cloth can be used to protect the buckles during spraying.

After the waterproofing spray has dried, the protection can be removed, and your shoes will be fully cared for and protected.
