Out of concern for your satisfaction with the shoes purchased in the super-shop.com/en/, we would like to ask you to observe these principles for care and maintenance of shoes, which are listed below.

PRINCIPLES FOR USING THE SHOES

1. Do not put on or take off your shoes without unlacing them.
2. Careful lacing the shoes allow to avoid foot abrasion and early wearing out of the lining and the heel counter.
3. Avoid soaking the leather shoes. Natural leather is a heterogeneous material, whose natural feature is the ability to absorb and permeate the water. This feature ensures perfect hygiene conditions (which cannot be provided by any other material). Every wetting of the shoes has a negative influence on their look and the condition of the leather. (Washing the shoes is strictly forbidden). Even properly maitained shoes can get soaked after 20 minutes of using them in wet weather (rain or melting snow). Getting soaked is considered as the mechanical damage.
4. Soaked shoes can be properly dried only at room temperature. To avoid the deformation of shoes use shoetrees or fill shoes with paper. Never dry the shoes with hair dryers or radiators, because high temperatures may damage the leather.
5. Always use the shoes in accordance with their purpose. We would like to remind you that outdoor shoes are not appropriate for sport or climbing. They cannot be used as the working shoes.
6. Keeping the shoes clean and providing regular maintenance guarantee their durability and aesthetic appearance.
7. We recommend regular maintenance of the shoes and using proper preparations designed for particular leather types (leather type is specified on the pendant and the box). Methods of cleaning and maintaining the shoes and recommended preparations are specified below.
8. Washing in the laundry machines, high temperatures and strong detergents may cause a discoloration or even damage the shoes.
9. Inside shoe care (keeping it clean, changing the lining) is a duty of the user.
10. Shoes should be frequently ventilated. Do not wear the same pair of shoes everyday if possible, because it may get worn-out earlier.
