SKIN CARE

Natural leather changes with use and may develop slight variations in color and texture over time. Regular care will help keep it supple and in good condition.

For routine cleaning, first remove dust and surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. If additional cleaning is needed, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe gently, without soaking the leather.

For a deeper clean, use a product specifically designed for natural leather. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and test it first on an inconspicuous area, especially on light-colored or richly colored leather.

From time to time, apply a small amount of a cream or conditioner specifically designed for skin to help keep it moisturized and supple. Avoid applying too much product, as it can alter the finish or color.

After cleaning, always let it air dry at room temperature. Do not use hair dryers, radiators, or other direct sources of heat, as they can dry out or warp the leather.

If your shoes get very wet, remove the laces and let them dry slowly. You can place clean, absorbent paper inside to help draw out the moisture and keep their shape.

SUEDE CARE 

Suede and split leather require different care than smooth leather. Their surface is more delicate and can show marks more easily, especially in light colors.

Before cleaning, let any mud or moisture dry completely. Then, use a soft brush designed specifically for suede or nubuck to remove dust and restore the material's natural texture. Brush gently without applying too much pressure, following the direction of the fibers.

For minor scuffs or scratches, use a rubber eraser specifically designed for suede. For more stubborn stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for suede or nubuck, and avoid soaking the material.

After cleaning, always let it air dry away from direct heat sources. Once dry, gently brush it again to restore the suede's finish.

Before using the item for the first time and on a regular basis, you can apply a protective spray designed for suede and nubuck to help protect against moisture and stains. Always check that the product is compatible with the material and test it first on an inconspicuous area, as some protective sprays may slightly alter the color.

FABRIC CARE

Fabrics can accumulate dust and dirt with use, especially light-colored ones. Gentle spot cleaning is usually the best way to keep them in good condition without altering their texture or color.

Routine Cleaning
First, remove the laces and brush off dust and surface dirt with a soft, dry brush. Pay special attention to the seams and areas where dirt may accumulate.

Stubborn Stains and Dirt
Use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush slightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild soap. Work on the stain with gentle strokes, avoiding vigorous rubbing or spreading the dirt to the rest of the fabric.

Then remove any remaining soap with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material, as many of our shoes combine fabrics with leather, split leather, and other natural materials that require different care.

Drying
Always let items air dry naturally at room temperature in a well-ventilated area. Do not use hair dryers, radiators, or other direct sources of heat. Also, avoid letting them dry in direct, intense sunlight, especially colored fabrics, as this could alter the color.

If the inside has gotten damp, you can place clean, absorbent paper inside to help absorb moisture and maintain its shape. Replace it if it gets too damp.

Before using any product
Make sure it is suitable for the type of fabric and test it first on a small, inconspicuous area. Some natural or dyed fabrics may show slight color variations after cleaning.

STAYING IN SHAPE

Due to their flexible construction and natural materials, these shoes may mold to your feet and change shape slightly over time. To help them retain their shape, we recommend keeping the paper inserts that come with the shoes and placing them back inside when you’re not wearing them.

If they get wet, gently stuff them with clean, absorbent paper and let them air dry, away from direct heat sources.

Never wash your Dolfies in the washing machine or submerge them completely in water. Always use products that are suitable for each material, and if you have any doubts, test them first in an inconspicuous area.
