To ensure your shoes maintain their beauty and longevity, it’s essential to follow these care instructions. Proper care will keep your leather shoes looking pristine and extend their life.

General Care Tips

Regular Cleaning:

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt after each
  wear.
• For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather.

Polishing:

• Use a high-quality leather polish that matches the color of your shoes.
• Apply the polish with a soft cloth, using small circular motions.
• Buff the shoes with a clean, dry cloth to bring out the shine.

Conditioning:

• Regularly condition your leather shoes to keep the leather soft and supple.
• Use a leather conditioner and apply it evenly with a soft cloth.
• Allow the conditioner to absorb into the leather before wiping off any excess.

Water Protection:

• Leather is susceptible to water damage. Apply a waterproofing spray to protect your shoes.
• Reapply the spray every few months or after exposure to wet conditions.

Specific Care Instructions

Storing:

• Store your leather shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Use shoe trees to maintain their shape and prevent creases.
• Keep your shoes in a breathable fabric bag to protect them from dust.

Handling Wet Shoes:

• If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb the moisture and help maintain their shape.
• Let them air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources like hair dryers or heaters.

Scuff Marks:

• Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair cream to treat scuff marks.
• Gently rub the product into the scuff mark until it fades.

Special Considerations

Patent Leather:

• Clean patent leather shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Use a patent leather cleaner to restore shine and remove scuffs.

Suede and Nubuck:

• Brush regularly with a suede brush to remove dirt and keep the nap looking fresh.
• Use a suede cleaner for stains and apply a protective spray designed for suede and nubuck.

Thank you for choosing Stivali New York. Enjoy your beautiful leather shoes!

Cattle leathers have beauty marks/freckles/moles/scars, just as we do. In part, that is also the beauty of leather, each piece is unique, special and has history.

That said, the leathers we use are a by product of the food industry. Here at Stivali, style and comfort are undoubtedly important in our design process but they do not rank highest in our curation process. Maintaining an ethical mindset is always the biggest inspiration behind our collections. The way in which Stivali weaves sustainability and design into stylish footwear is always with consideration of our morals, the environment and you.

Everything starts with our materials. We have worked with 100% Colombian leather since our beginnings in 1998 and continue to choose authentic leather over faux alternatives. The debate over vegan and synthetic leather has been long and confused, straying away from the truth of the matter: vegan leather comes at a significant environmental cost.

Polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) undergoes an intensive chemical process in effort to mimic leather. Both plastics require plactizers and phthalates (which are harmful and toxic) and are derived from fossil fuels, releasing nitrogen and carbon into the atmosphere. In addition, both plastics take hundreds of years to biodegrade and are more likely to end up in landfills as their quality worsens quicker. Fashion brands are quick to green-wash vegan leathers as a sustainable alternative to their buyers, as even the word “vegan” ignites an association to the diet and lifestyle.

Genuine leathers are natural products of the planet and therefore biodegrade entirely and much quicker. A by-product of the food industry, our leathers are a solution to wasted materials rather than a new addition to an on-going problem.

From the beginning design phases to our showroom to their new owner, we make sure to carefully curate an ethical experience. After choosing your favorite new booties, they’ll be wrapped in entirely biodegradable packaging.

For every pair of shoes, we want to ensure our customer transparency and as little environmental impact as possible. At Stivali, we not only strive to cater elevated footwear but ease our carbon footprint as well.

Stivali handcrafts women footwear and accessories in Colombia at the Guarin family’s atelier. Where quality is treasured, along with a revived appreciation into traditional skills. Handcrafting shoes to last generations.

Stivali believes that footwear should be both, sophisticated in form and ethical to wear. Thus, the brand is proud to honor family values. The way Stivali honors families’ legacies is by offering products and services conceived in family, revealing our operations transparently, and by creating aspirational yet attainable and wearable collection handmade by artisans in Colombia
