INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SHOES:
When choosing shoes, please ensure that the type and shape correspond to your demands and needs. Inappropriately chosen footwear, i.e. shape, size, type, cannot be a reason for a later complaint.
Purpose of footwear:
A different type of shoe is suitable for each purpose. Purposefulness affects the material used, construction, execution and the way of maintaining the footwear. When choosing, it is necessary to take into account the purpose for which you want to use the shoes.
-
Casual shoes - footwear for recreational walking opportunities, for walking longer distances in moderate and well-maintained natural environments.
-
Dress shoes - footwear for short-term wear, suitable for indoor use, is very sensitive to moisture and uneven terrain. These are mostly all-leather shoes of classic cuts with a leather sole, connected to the upper by gluing.
-
Sport shoes - it must always be used for the purposes for which it was made. It follows from this that with sports shoes it is important to respect which sports sector the shoes belong to and use them there. Sports shoes used for purposes other than those for which they are intended are not entitled to a claim.
-
Home shoes / Slippers - light, mostly textile footwear of simple construction designed to be worn indoors.
-
Children's shoes - the demands are characterized by the needs of the child's foot, which is developing and growing, its bones are soft, and failure to follow the basic principles can result in damage to the child's foot.
-
Barefoot shoes - This footwear simulates walking barefoot. It provides all the benefits of walking barefoot and, in addition, protects the feet from injury (injury from splinters, thorns, etc.) and adverse weather conditions. It provides the feet with enough space to move as naturally as possible. The toes can form a fan and are not deformed in any way. This type of footwear is not suitable for people with diabetes, neuropathy or other foot diseases. It is recommended to consult a doctor before use.
Method of production of footwear:
Another aspect that significantly affects the function and maintenance of footwear is its production method - the way in which the bottom of the shoe (sole) is connected to the upper:
-
Glued footwear - This is the most commonly used production technology, in which the bottom of the shoe is attached to the upper by gluing. The strength of the joint can be negatively affected by getting wet, sweating or repeated use of insufficiently dried footwear. Careless walking can cause the glued joint to loosen mechanically (stumbling).
-
Sewn footwear - Footwear made in this way is very comfortable, light and flexible. Increased flexibility is due to the fact that the upper of the shoe is sewn directly to the lower part, without the need for a tensioning insole. A feature of this footwear is limited water resistance, so use this footwear mainly in dry environments. Increased humidity can cause the footwear to get wet. Regular maintenance can increase the resistance of this footwear to moisture. Thoroughly impregnate or cream the shoes and pay extra attention and care to the quilted edge of the shoes.
Principles of shoe maintenance:
-
Smooth leather shoes - The leather is not a waterproof or waterproof material. However, these properties can be increased by using special sprays. Shoes made of this material are not suitable for rain.
-
Care: remove dirt from the shoes with a suitable brush or damp cloth and wipe dry. It is treated with special creams and recommended impregnation preparations.
-
-
Velur leather shoes (suede) - These shoes are also not suitable for rainy weather.
-
Care: treated with special rubber brushes, i.e. brushing and products that are intended for hair skin. These preparations revive the color. Treatment with a suitable impregnation is important, they increase water resistance. Never cream these leathers.
-
-
Shoes with a waterproof membrane - This shoe is suitable for rainy weather and snow. The tex layer protects the shoes from getting wet. After returning home, it is important to dry the shoes thoroughly, but gradually and at a reasonable distance from the heat source. After the surface has dried, impregnate the shoes. For impregnation, use only products recommended by manufacturers of waterproof membranes.
-
Plastic / synthetic shoes - Not suitable for cold weather, snow. Avoid sudden changes in temperature. It is very easy to maintain.
-
Care: wash it with a damp cloth with added detergent and wipe dry.
-
-
Textile shoes - Summer or house shoes. Not suitable for rain or snow.
-
Care: it is treated by brushing only when dry.
-
Other principles of proper shoe maintenance and care:
-
When putting on shoes, especially closed shoes, use a shoe spoon.
-
After taking off the shoes, tighten them with appropriate size shoelaces.
-
Change your shoes often, especially in rainy weather.
-
Impregnate winter and year-round footwear before first use and continue to impregnate them regularly depending on the weather.
-
Leather shoes and shoes made of sanded leather are not indefinitely resistant to moisture, we only increase their resistance to water with a suitable impregnation.
-
Avoid soaking leather shoes, which damages the appearance of the finish and deforms the shape of the shoes.
-
If this happens, stuff the soaked leather shoes with newspaper and gradually dry them away from the source of increased heat.
-
In case of increased sweating or when the shoes get wet, the leather shoes may partially lose color.
-
The uneven drawing of the cheek and the partial difference of the surface is characteristic of natural leather.
-
Children's winter warming shoes, so-called "snowshoes", are intended primarily for snow and should not be your child's only winter footwear.
-
We generally do not recommend washing textile or other footwear in a washing machine using detergents. Timely basic maintenance of worn posts and soles (or soles) will prevent damage to other parts of your footwear; this possible damage cannot be a reason for a complaint.
Please do not forget that the deadline for exercising the right from defective performance with the seller and the lifespan of the shoes are two different concepts. The lifespan of the footwear is determined by the way and intensity of use and may not always be the same as this period. This means that with intensive use, the lifespan of the shoes may be shorter. Overview of pictograms of individual types of materials used on individual parts of footwear. These pictograms will make it easier for you to navigate the material composition of the footwear.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING HANDBAGS:
When choosing handbags, it is important to distinguish products according to their purpose of use (evening, everyday, work, shopping, sports, school, etc.). Use a new handbag, briefcase, backpack or bag in such a way as to prevent it from getting dirty or wearing out quickly (do not store it in a humid or hot environment, on a rough or dirty surface). Handbags and bags are made of different materials and each of them has its own specific properties and maintenance method. The weight of the contents of the handbag must be proportional to the strength of the material. Uneven drawing of the face and partial differences in color shade and natural distinctive features (scars, wrinkles) are not a defect, but on the contrary, they emphasize the character of natural leather, bast and wicker material and are a sought-after fashion element. If your hands sweat excessively, it is better to choose materials that are not sensitive to this. Damage to the product caused by failure to comply with the above principles cannot be the subject of a complaint and must not be mistaken for a defect in the product or material.
Each handbag is made of a different material, so it is necessary to pay the necessary care to its maintenance and care:
-
Leather handbags - Protect from getting wet, remove wet stains: moisten with steam or a spray bottle, do not rub, let it dry slowly at room temperature. Remove pen stains with a cotton pad moistened in a mixture of alcohol and water (1:1). Sprinkle greasy stains (fresh) with magnesia or chalk dust and let it work for 24 hours. Treat with an appropriate cream 1 to 2 times a year. A certain patina does not degrade the leather.
-
Patented handbags - It is sensitive to mechanical damage, chemical influences, getting wet and frost. Clean with a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry. Treat with a cream suitable for varnished goods.
-
Handbags made of artificial materials - These are synthetic materials, plastics and leatherettes often resembling leather. After getting wet, dry slowly at room temperature. Clean with a slightly damp cloth with the addition of mild detergent and wipe dry.
-
Textile handbags - Lightly clean with a nylon brush or detergent, but do not soak. Textile cleaning products will revive the colors and partially prevent dirt.
-
Wicker and bast handbags - The load for these materials must not exceed 2 kg. The goods are sensitive to moisture and must not be soaked, therefore faster natural wear of the material is not a defect.
