![]() For all of our leathers (except vegetable-tanned) you can clean by hand with a damp cloth, or if needed you can hand wash your leather shoes using a gentle shampoo and cool water. We do not recommend frequent washing of any leather product as it strips the leather of it's natural oils and tends to dry stiffer. The color on shiny metallic shoes will eventually patina with use into an antique wear look, which can be accelerated with repeated use to water and high wear (e.g. We highly recommend Bee Natural Amore for general conditioning or Rain & Snow or Nikwax Full Grain Waterproofing on smooth leather for enhanced water resistance. Do not use mink oil on your shoes, as it can degrade the adhesion on bonded soles and cause the sole to separate from your shoe over time. Condition the leather as often as desired with any quality leather dressing, but be careful to keep it away from the edges of your rubber soles. You can clean shoes as needed with water dampened cloth and let air dry, but please note if you do this on vegetable-tanned leather then you will need to wet/stain the entire shoe to avoid water marks. Most full grain leather we use is naturally water resistant, but our special vegetable-tanned leather (available only by custom selection on some of our design-your-own shoes) is a "naked" leather and will stain from water alone. Do not use a damp cloth as the water can stain the leather or innersole of some leather types, rendering it non-returnable. Push the cloth tightly into the front of the shoe and let sit stuffed overnight to stretch. If your shoes are a little snug at first in the toe box area, you can gently stretch them by stuffing the toe box with a dry cloth. This will decrease with use, but we don't recommend wearing your new Softstars with your favorite white socks the first time you take them for a spin. Because we use leather colored with non-toxic food grade dyes, there will likely be some initial color transfer to your socks or skin if your shoes become damp. Leather is a natural product and some variation in texture and hide markings is to be expected. Softstar Shoes are made from eco-friendly leathers tanned in the USA.
