Dark Blue White Leather

The feeling of brand new is a unique and different moment for each person, a world of positive emotions that leave your mood in ecstasy.

The experience of receiving your BLACK BISONsneakers, opening the box, removing the paper that covers it, perceiving their particular aroma and imagining them with all possible looks, is the beginning of A relationship.

We will help you make this sensation last over time and you can experience that pleasure every time you wear your sports shoes. Follow this simple and quick guide so that yourleather sneakers enjoy a longer life.

1. Use the shoehorn whenever you put on your shoes. Its use prevents short-term deformations of the leather.
   
   
2. It is advisable to let your sneakers rest. The leather needs to breathe and return to its original position so as not to age prematurely.
   
   
3. If we go on a trip with our leather sneakers, it is important to allow them to rest for at least a day. If you keep them in your suitcase, it is important to put paper lasts at least inside, avoiding deforming them due to the imprisonment they suffer during the trip.
   
   
4. If your shoes have suede leather, the ideal is to clean them with a special brush for this. You can also clean it with a slightly damp cloth and go over the suede gently, evenly and always in the same direction. 
   
   
5. If your sneakers get wet, dry them with a soft cloth and make sure there is no water left on them. If the leather is suede, the water may bleed the color of the leather. Use kitchen paper to absorb any moisture that may remain on the outside or inside. Letting them dry at room temperature is ideal, avoiding sunlight as this can cause discoloration and/or cracking of the leather.
   
   
6. Cleaning your shoes is important, care must be taken not to abuse it. For example, excess water and cleaning products such as shoe polish or creams end up producing a series of stains that modify its original color and prevent the leather from breathing.
   
   
7. Some care for different types of leather:
   7.1. For smooth leather, take a cloth or soft brush, rub it on the leather sneaker, it is a traditional but less harmful method.
   7.2. Nubuck or suede type leathers are not waterproof, avoid getting them wet, as it can cause the release of anilines, staining the footwear.
   7.3. If the suede or calfskin leather has stains, it is recommended to use a cream eraser and rub gently on it. For this type of leather, bitumen or leather grease should not be used.
   7.4. For patent leather footwear, the ideal is to dust with a dry cloth, then moisten it a little and rub gently on the upper. To shine this type of leather we recommend using a couple of drops of olive oil and rubbing gently and evenly with a dry cloth.
   
   
8. If your sneakers have several types of leather (smooth, suede, corrugated), the ideal is to clean them separately, being as careful as possible not to stain or damage the leather. 
   
   
9. When tying or adjusting your sports shoes, make sure you do it properly, avoiding doing the adjustment with too much force and breaking the leather eyelet. Remember that this is still animal skin and can break due to improper use.
   
   
10. After using your shoes, let them air out for a few minutes, clean them and store them in the carrying bag to prevent dirt from entering them.
    
    
11. If the space in your shoe rack allows it, keep the sneakers in their box once they have been placed in the bag. Do not store in humid places.

The variety of leathers makes the care for each of them unique. The soles may present some change in tone. 

Important: Never wash leather shoes in the washing machine as they deteriorate the materials faster than desired; Its cleaning must always be manual and measured.
If you store your sneakers for long periods of time, they may show salt stains or mold.
