Caring for your FAWOYE
Real leather ages beautifully when it is looked after. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear, and let your shoes rest a day between outings so the leather can breathe. Condition every few weeks with a natural leather cream, store with shoe trees or lightly stuffed with paper, and keep them away from direct heat. Cared for well, a FAWOYE pair only looks better with the years.
