Caring for synthetic leather shoes ensures they stay looking fresh season after season without dulling their smooth finish. Because vegan leather resists water better than untreated animal hides, daily maintenance is remarkably simple.

To clean dust and street dirt, wipe down the smooth exterior using a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, alcohol-based solutions, or stiff scrubbing brushes that could scratch or weaken the synthetic upper.

Allow your shoes to air-dry completely at room temperature away from direct sunlight or hot radiators, as excessive heat can cause synthetic materials to crack or warp over time.

Store your strapped footwear upright in a well-ventilated wardrobe or closet box. Stuffing the toe box with clean tissue paper when not in use helps maintain its rounded shape beneath your favourite Himekaji clothes.
