CARE FOR YOUR LEATHER SHOES.
Before you debut your new festival shoes, be sure to wear them at home with a pair of thick socks so the leather softens and moulds to the shape of your feet.
Give them a good dose of leather-protecting spray. You never know what the weather may bring, so we suggest protecting these quality shoes with our Eco Water & Stain Spray.
Now you’re all set and ready for music and fun at this season’s festivals.
