PRODUCT CARE

STORING YOUR LANA VOLKOV SHOES

ALWAYS STORE YOUR LANA VOKOV SHOES IN THEIR CARE BAG PLACED INSIDE THE SHOEBOX AND OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND HEAT. ENSURE SHOES WITH CRYSTALS AND/OR HARDWARE ARE STORED IN SUCH A WAY THE ACCESSORIES ARE NOT PULLING ON ANY OUTER FABRICATION OF THE SHOES. ENSURE THE SHOES ARE WELL VENTILATED BEFORE STORAGE.

PRESERVING THE SHAPE OF YOUR SHOES

IT IS ONLY NATURAL FOR THE SHAPE OF THE SHOES TO CHANGE OVER TIME. NOT ONLY WILL YOUR SHOES MOULD TO THE SHAPE OF YOUR OWN FOOT BUT THEY MAY STRETCH WITH EXTENSIVE WEAR. TO MAINTAIN THE SHAPE OF YOUR SHOES WE RECOMMEND STUFFING THE SHOES WITH UN-COLOURED TISSUE PAPER OR USING THE SHOE PILLOWS WHICH ARE PROVIDED FOR A SELECTION OF STYLES.

MAINTAINING THE SOLES

THE SOLES OF YOUR SHOES ARE MADE FROM SMOOTH AND DELICATE LEATHER AND WILL THEREFORE NATURALLY WEAR DOWN WITH USAGE. THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, IT IS A NATURAL PROCESS AND PART OF THE NORMAL WEAR OF THE SHOES.  IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO WALK ON ANY WET SURFACES AS THIS MAY ALTER THE STRUCTURE OF THE SOLES AND CAUSE STAINING TO THE UPPER.

MAINTAINING THE LINING

THE LINING OF YOUR LANA VOLKOV SHOES IS MADE FROM SMOOTH ITALIAN LEATHER. YOU CAN GENTLY REMOVE SURFACE DIRT ON THE LINING OF YOUR SHOES BY USING A CLEAN DAMP CLOTH TO WIPE AWAY ANY IMPURITIES. FOR SHOES WITH SUEDE LINING YOU CAN USE A SOFT SUEDE BRUSH TO GENTLY SMOOTH THE PILE.

 

MAINTAINING THE HEEL TIPS

WITH EXTENSIVE WEAR THE HEEL TIPS OF YOUR LANA VOLKOV SHOES MAY NATURALLY DETERIORATE. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE HEEL TIPS ONCE THEY START TO WEAR DOWN, BEFORE THE INNER HEEL BEGINS TO SHOW. THIS IS IMPORTANT AS HAVING AN UNSTABLE HEEL CAN LEAD TO BALANCING ISSUES AND AFFECT THE SHAPE OF THE ENTIRE SHOE. YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR HEEL TIPS AT A REPUTABLE COBBLER. PLEASE NOTE: SOME STYLES COME WITH ADDITIONAL HEEL TIP REPLACEMENTS.

LOOKING AFTER CRYSTALS AND HARDWARE ACCESSORIES

IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE CRYSTALS AND HARDWARE ARE KEPT OUT OF CONTACT WITH WATER, ALCOHOL, OILS AND SOLVENTS. IF THE CRYSTALS OR HARDWARE HAPPENS TO BE IN CONTACT WITH WATER, PAT DRY WITH A CLOTH IMMEDIATELY. ENSURE THE SHOES ARE STORED IN THE CARE BAG IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE HARDWARE AND OR CRYSTALS DO NOT RUB AGAINST EACH OTHER.

CALF & NAPPA LEATHER

CALF LEATHER IS SMOOTH AND STRONG PROVIDING A LIGHT AND DURABLE UPPER FOR YOUR SHOES. AS WITH ALL ANIMAL SKINS, LEATHER WILL NATURALLY WRINKLE AND SOFTEN WITH AGE.

A NEUTRAL LEATHER CONDITIONER CAN BE USED TO MAINTAIN THE SOFTNESS OF THE LEATHER HOWEVER ENSURE THIS IS SPOT TESTED AND THE SHOES ARE THOROUGHLY DRY BEFORE USE.

METALLIC LEATHER

METALLIC LEATHER IS AN EXTREMELY DELICATE FORM OF LEATHER THAT USES A LAMINATED FINISH TO PROVIDE A SMOOTH AND GLOSSY SURFACE. DUE TO ITS SENSITIVITY, METALLIC LEATHERS MAY MARK EASILY SO WE RECOMMEND AVOIDING CONTACT WITH SHARP OR ABRASIVE OBJECTS AND SURFACES.

IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE BEAUTY OF YOUR NEW PATENT SHOES, AVOID THEIR CONTACT WITH OTHER LEATHER PRODUCTS, AS THE COLOURED PATENT CAN ABSORB THE DYE FROM THE OTHER LEATHER PRODUCTS AND BECOME PERMANENTLY DISCOLOURED. ALWAYS STORE THE SHOES IN THEIR CARE BAGS AWAY FROM ANY OTHER LEATHER MATERIALS, DIRECT LIGHT AND/OR HEAT.

SUEDE

THE SOFT VELVETY SUEDE IS DELICATE AND IT IS NATURAL FOR COLOUR VARIATIONS TO APPEAR DUE TO THE RUB OF THE LEATHER.

AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH SUBSTANCES CONTAINING ALCOHOL (PERFUMES, SOLVENTS), OILY SUBSTANCES (MAKE UP) AND ALL ABRASIVE SUBSTANCES. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT AND HEAT SOURCES. DO NOT EXPOSE TO HUMIDITY, IN CASE OF DIRECT CONTACT WITH WATER, LEAVE TO DRY THOROUGHLY IN A COOL AND WELL-VENTILATED PLACE.
