Hogan footwear is made with highly selected leathers and fabrics. Any imperfections, creases, shading or irregularities are considered characteristics of the product.
PRODUCT CARE AND STORAGE
It is recommended to store the footwear in its designated fabric dustbag in a dry, clean and ventilated environment, away from heat sources, direct lamp light, and sunlight. Ensure that the shoes do not come into contact with other leathers, fabrics, alcohol, oils, solvents and make sure that embroidery and crystals are well protected. Avoid immersing in water and machine washing. It is advised to alternate shoes after two consecutive days of use to allow the leather to air out and recover from stress.
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE SHOES SHAPE
The shoe shape changes over time adapting to the wearer; leathers, naturally, tend to form wrinkles and creases. To prolong the elasticity and maintain the shape of the shoes, it is recommended to stuff them with tissue paper.
SMOOTH OR GRAINED LEATHERS
Clean the smooth or grained leather with a soft cloth, slightly wet with water. Allow to dry and polish in circular motions using a soft cloth and a high-quality neutral cream.
PATENTED LEATHERS
Use a light-coloured cloth slightly dampened with water, then dry with a soft cloth. To avoid colour transfer, do not put in contact with other highly pigmented leathers or fabrics.
METALLIC LEATHERS
Laminated or metallic leather can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
SUEDE LEATHERS
Suede and nubuck leathers can be cleaned with a soft bristle brush. If the shoes have been in contact with water, let them dry before proceeding. For superficial stains, you can use a rubber brush.
PONY-SKIN EFFECT LEATHERS
Pony-skin effect calfskin leathers are processed using a special tanning method; any colour shades are considered peculiar of the leather. Clean with a soft and slightly dampened cloth, always respecting the direction of the hair. Avoid repeated rubbing, e.g. with the hem of trousers.
FABRICS AND COMBINED MATERIALS
After cleaning the fabric parts, let the shoes dry away from heat sources, direct lamp light or sunlight, then store them in their designated dustbag. Avoid immersing in water. The fabrics used have a finish that often limits the risk of stains, however, special attention should be paid to light colours.
SATIN
Satin can be cleaned using a slightly dampened cloth with gentle circular motions. Since it is a delicate material, be particularly careful not to rub excessively.
VELVET
Velvet is a particularly delicate material and subject to wear. Avoid contact with rainwater, mud and abrasive agents. To remove small amounts of dirt, use a soft cloth, slightly dampened with water.
WOOLS AND TWEED
Protect shoes with wool inserts from rain, water, alcohol, oil and other liquids. Avoid contact with sharp or abrasive objects and surfaces that could cause tears of the fabric. Superficial dirt can be gently removed using a clean, dry and soft cloth.
PVC
PVC is a synthetic fiber whose surface may fog out during use. Dirt can be gently removed using a cloth dampened with water. Do not use leather care products as they may alter the transparency.
INTERNAL LINING
Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water.
OUTSOLES
Leather bottoms: subject to signs of wear after the first use, not to be considered a manufacturing defect.
Rubber bottoms: it is recommended to use a common neutral degreaser, to be removed with a soft cloth, being careful not to apply the product on the upper (leather/fabric/etc.).
ACCESSORIES
It is recommended to clean using a soft microfiber cloth.
