SHOE CARE GUIDE
We care inside out.
At Gray Matters, our commitment to craftsmanship runs deep. We take immense pride in the fact that our shoes are authentically handcrafted and made in Italy. We source only the finest quality leather, ensuring that every pair we create is a testament to the artistry and precision that Italian shoemaking is renowned for.
We believe in delivering not just footwear, but an experience that's felt with every step you take. It's our hope that when you slip into a pair of Gray Matters shoes, you'll immediately notice and appreciate the difference. From the meticulous handcrafting to the supple touch of our premium leather, we pour our passion into every detail, so you can confidently put your best foot forward.
To help you extend the life of your purchase, here is our guide to caring for your Gray Matters shoes.
皮革和麂皮都是天然材料，所以我们的某些鞋子可能会有细微的差异。我们的大部分产品均由极其柔软的材料制成，必须细心使用，如纳帕皮革和小山羊皮。
在使用前可以到您当地的鞋匠进行预防保护，或定期日常鞋子保养可以大大延长它的使用寿命。对于住在纽约地区的人，我们推荐Leather Spa or North 11th Shoe Repair.
如果您有信任的当地鞋匠，也请与我们分享他们的信息！
维护
皮革
(1) 要清洁您的皮鞋，请用干净、无磨损的柔软干布擦拭所需区域。
(2) 如果出现污渍，请用柔软的湿布轻轻擦拭该区域，然后风干。 涂上透明的皮革霜，然后用软布轻轻打圈擦拭。
(3) 如果接触到水或其他液体，请勿摩擦皮革，用干布轻轻敲打以吸收液体。
麂皮
For suede, we recommend brushing gently with a suede rubber, or crepe eraser. We recommend the suede cleaning kit by Jason Markk. Repeat from time to time to maintain the protective layer.
鞋跟套
我们希望您非常喜欢您的鞋子，并每天都穿着它们。
如果您的鞋跟套开始磨损，请带着我们附赠的额外一组鞋跟套至您当地修鞋店进行更换。
外底
Most of our outsoles are are made of suede or painted leather in our custom dusty rose. If you would prefer to enforce your outsoles with rubber, we recommend having your local shoe maker/repair shop apply them.
This will protect your outsole, waterproof it, and make it non-skid.
贮存
不使用时，请务必将鞋子收入购买时附的防尘袋，并存放在阴凉干燥的地方。
Inserting shoe trees or shoe stuffers will also help to preserve the shoe’s shape.
