To begin with, a pair of leather shoes is a piece that needs to be cared for. Leather is a strong but fragile material. That's why we recommend keeping your shoes in a closed box, away from humidity, and taking good care of them. You can also use a shoe tree to keep your shoes in shape.
In addition, don't hesitate to take your shoes to the shoemaker for touch-ups. For example, you can resole them. Jonak offers a cobbler's service, which you can find here.
To care for, maintain and enhance your Jonak shoes, we recommend that you refer to the “care” texts provided in each product data sheet. Carefully written, they are specific to each model and will help you make your Jonak shoes last.
