Taking care of your leather shoes: don't let that intimidate you!
If you own a pair of Mattia - or other leather shoes, you should take care of them as follows. If you want to clean them, you should first clean them with a soft shoe brush. If you don't have a special brush, you can use a soft toothbrush or a dry, smooth cloth. Remember to remove the laces before the start and always dust the shoes in a circular motion. These are best stored in a place where they are not exposed to direct sunlight so that their color remains protected for a long time.
To care for suede shoes, like the new Zeli , you need to follow a different shoe care routine. If you have a stain on your shoe, use a special brush for that type of leather. The brushing should always be in the same direction, the shoe should be dry and the brush suitable for this material. A water repellent spray is also a very good purchase as moisture is your suede shoe's worst enemy. We recommend storing your suede shoes in cloth bags to avoid scratches.
Merino Wool Sneakers: The ones that don't need your help
With shoes made from merino wool like the Mabel, it is not necessary to wash them very often as they are breathable and antibacterial. However, if they have stains and you want to remove them, you should follow these recommendations: You are welcome to use the washing machine in hand wash or wool wash mode with a low spin (below 800 rpm). However, do not use detergents that contain fabric softeners and do not put anything else in the washing machine, the shoes should go into the wash cycle on their own. One of the most important tips is to let them air dry. Try to keep them in their boxes.
