Care Instruction for Water Repellent Shoes
We’ve started applying a water-repellent finish to our kimono shoes to keep them beautiful.
Please note that this coating is applied only to the kimono fabric sections,
and not to the leather parts.
For more details about the water-repellent treatment, please see below.
Leather part
Things to prepare:
Leather cream, Cloth, Shoe eraser, Shoe keeper
1. Gently brush off any dirt with a soft bristle brush.
*Do not rub the kimono fabric strongly or get it wet, as it will become fuzzy and rough.
2. Use leather protection cream for genuine leather.
* Be careful not to adhere to the kimono part.
3. Remove dirt from sole with a shoe eraser . A stationery eraser is also acceptable.
4. Use a shoe keeper to prevent deformation.
Kimono part
Things to prepare:
Cloth/towel, Clean water, Hair dryer
1. Water stain will bead up into droplets .
2. Blot the stain with a dry towel, taking care not to rub it.
3. The towel absorbs the moisture and dirt, but some stain remains.
4. Pour water over the area to lift the stain to the surface.
5. Once again, blot the lifted stain using the same method as steps 2 and 3.
6. After treatment, it is important to let the fabric dry thoroughly.
