"You can't make silk purse out of a sow's ear." - The same applies to our shoes, which are made from premium soft suedes and leathers to ensure a comfortable fit. Treat them as you would fine silk dress. Take the best care of them to ensure they last you a long time. Our shoes come with a cotton dust bag to store them when not in use. Here is some advice to care for your shoes:
Leather shoes – We advise using a leather cream from time to time to nourish and protect the leather. Avoid leaving your shoes in direct sunlight or near heat as this can cause the leather to crack and split.
Suede Shoes – We strongly advise purchasing a suede protector spray and spraying the shoes (according to the instructions) regularly.
Heel Hazards – Please take care when wearing thin heels on uneven ground. There are many hazards for stilettos and thin heels so beware of sharp steps, uneven payments, cobbles, drains and grates. Heel tips are very small and will need to be regularly replaced depending on how often you wear your shoes. Cobblers can often repair scraped heels and heel tips, but we also offer a repair service so please contact us at help@sargassoandgrey.com if you need this service.
Leather Soles - Some of our occasion shoes feature premium leather soles - Leather is a natural material and will absorb water. Leather soles do not like too much wet weather. If you are wearing leather soles regularly in wet conditions, they will require resoling on a more regular basis. You may prefer to add half rubber soles to increase longevity.
