18. Why do the shoes have a little peculiar odor?
1) Because the shoes are packed and delivered as soon as they’re produced in the factory. So there’s a little odor of adhesive and genuine leather. The odor of adhesive will disappear a few days later and the odor of genuine leather will dim but still keep all the time. Don’t worry, the odor of adhesive and leather makes no difference to your health.
2) You can pack the activated charcoal using the paper with good permeability, then put it into the shoes slightly, 1-2 days later, the odor will dim but don’t let the activated charcoal touch the shoes.

19. Some simple guidelines on the maintenance of leather shoes
1) Had better not wear the leather shoes in the rain or snow. They are easy to get moist. If get wet, please use dry soft cloth or tissues, clean the surface as early as possible, and put it in the ventilated place for dry, or you can use a hair dryer to dry them slightly.
2) Always clean shoes regularly and get shoes polished to adapt, soften, and protect the genuine leather.
3) Please use leather care products that match the leather and color of the shoes, avoiding staining and damage to the leather.
4) Don’t squeeze when wearing shoes. Advise you to use shoelace and zipper correctly, to make sure your shoes are not deformed or damaged.
5) Genuine leather are with elasticity, better to avoid wearing the same shoes everyday. The heat and sweat will make the leather loose. We recommend that you can prepare more shoes for alternating to keep the shoes dry.
6) When not wearing shoes, please put them in a cool, dry place. Store your shoes away from damp and heat, and protect them from direct sunlight or high temperature in case the shoes be moldy or damaged.
7) When not wearing the shoes for a long time, we recommend you to make a shoes care(clean the dirt, apply polishes), then put the foam or tissue that we’ve provided in the shoes to avoid deformation or damage of shoes, and keep it dry.
8) Match dark socks when wearing the shoes with dark lining.
