Water repellent footwear repels water and NON-fatty liquids, i.e. they are not resistant to wine, oil or other substances. Be careful, because although they repel water shoes have cuts where water can penetrate. In case they get wet, let them air dry naturally. We always recommend not to force this process. Remember that the wetter the shoe gets, the longer it may take to dry. Once dry, rub them carefully with a microfiber cloth. Non-water stains can be reduced by using the classic crepe brush that acts as an eraser. To keep the water repellent treatment in good condition for a long time you can apply a special water repellent protective spray. Never put your shoes in the washing machine! It is a leather article and the laces are the same as always, so be careful because when you put them in water they can fade.
