Loro Piana shoes are designed to evolve over time, developing their own unique character. Extra care will prolong their life. To clean the suede uppers, gently rub in the direction of the nap using a sponge, soft-bristle shoe brush, or cloth designed for cleaning suede. Clean the soles with a damp, light-coloured cloth. Avoid using soap or chemical cleaning products on any parts of the shoes. Do not machine wash. Use a shoehorn when putting them on and avoid wearing them two days in a row to maintain their shape. When not in use, insert shoe trees or stuff them with paper and place each shoe in a separate cotton dust bag. Exposure to natural elements can alter the colour of the uppers and soles — changes that provide a one-of-a-kind allure.
