Our Athena Slides range uses a cow leather for the insole which has followed a 100% natural and chemical-free vegetable tanning process, therefore no finish is applied to the leather.
This allows the foot to breathe naturally, keeping the foot dry and avoiding perspiration and bad
smells. The insoles will naturally change colour and darken over time with wear and with exposure to light, sun and dirt.
In order to keep your insole as fresh as possible, we recommend ensuring that your feet are always clean and dry when wearing them, as dirt transfer from your feet to the insoles can cause stains.
To clean the insoles, we recommend using a gentle leather cleaning spray or cream to remove excess dirt but please note that dirt absorbed by the leather will not be able to be removed.
You can also spray your innersoles with a leather protecting spray when new to protect against water and stains.
