SHOES
Your National Standard sneakers are designed and manufactured with care and precision thanks to the expertise of highly trained craftsmen. The leathers used are of natural origin and evolve with time and usage. Here are some valuable tips to preserve their appearance and longevity.
- National Standard x Fusalp shoes may come into contact with snow and salt, therefore we strongly recommend waterproofing your shoes (avoiding rubber parts).
- Salt is corrosive to leather. We recommend that you repeat the maintenance regularly if repeated contact with corrosive elements occurs
- Before maintenance, we advise you to remove the laces and put in shoe trees. The regular use of these will help to maintain the shape of your shoes
- Dry the shoes at room temperature by removing the insoles
- Avoid contact with raw denim to prevent any color transfer
