Care Instructions
FULL GRAIN LEATHER
To remove dirt and dust, wipe gently with a dry cloth (avoid dyed cloth or towels to ensure the color doesn’t bleed). Then, very lightly dampen the cloth with water and gently wipe again. Leather should always be allowed to dry naturally and away from direct sunlight or heat as both can damage the damp leather. If the shoes are only scratched or scuffed and not dirty, you can buff most marks out by rubbing with a dry soft cloth, applying medium pressure.
Prior to wearing, MF Avarcas recommends using a Water and Stain protector. The Avarcas are made of genuine leather, unlike the totes, they are not meant to get wet. Continued use of waterproofer will maintain the best result.
To weatherproof your shoes, we suggest using a water and stain repellent non-silicone leather spray. Place a towel or cloth inside the shoe to cover the sole before spraying the shoes.
Carefully read the instructions on the protector before applying.
*The Avarcas get better with age. By that, we mean, with all its marks and scars through use and age, they look more elegant than ever without compromising quality and durability. Indeed, a #wellwornelegance.
You have a good pair with you.
SUEDE/NUBUCK LEATHERS
To clean, use a rubber pencil eraser to remove dirt spots and smudges – be gentle when you rub the leather. Then, brush lightly with a soft brush made specifically for suede and nubuck products. Be sure each stroke of your brush is in the same direction. If you brush in different directions, certain suede leathers will give the appearance of being two different colors or begin to pill. We do not recommend using a wire brush or any kind of polish on suede or nubuck leathers.

* All measurements are taken from the white stitching around the sole, measuring between the heel and toe stitches, not the full length of the shoe's sole. This helps to ensure your foot will fit within the shoes and not out to the edge of the sole.
