Care Instructions
Nicarlo Luxe shoes are crafted with precision and sophistication, designed to offer timeless elegance and comfort. To preserve their premium look and longevity, follow these tailored care guidelines based on the material of your footwear.
Care for Leather Shoes
Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe your shoes with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks to maintain the natural suppleness and shine of the leather.
Polishing: Use a neutral or color-matched polish. Apply evenly with a soft cloth, let it rest for a few minutes, and buff with a clean brush for a refined finish.
Water Protection: Lightly spray your shoes with a leather protector to guard against moisture and stains. Reapply regularly, especially during humid or rainy seasons.
Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight. Insert shoe trees or tissue paper to maintain their shape.
Tip: Avoid placing leather shoes near heaters—excessive heat can cause cracking and fading.
Care for Suede & Nubuck Loafers
Brushing: Use a suede brush or soft bristle brush to gently lift away dirt and restore the nap. Always brush in one direction for an even texture.
Spot Cleaning: For light stains, dab with a slightly damp cloth—never rub. Use a suede eraser or cleaner for stubborn marks.
Steaming: To refresh the suede and remove minor wrinkles, use a handheld steamer, keeping it at least a few inches away.
Protection: Spray with a suede-protector formulated to repel water and stains. Reapply regularly to maintain protection.
Storage: Keep suede loafers in dust bags or soft fabric covers to protect from dust and sunlight. Avoid plastic covers that trap moisture.
Care for Velvet or Fabric Loafers
Brushing: Lightly brush the surface using a velvet or fabric brush after every few wears to remove surface dust.
Spot Treatment: Clean minor stains using a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Blot gently and avoid soaking the material.
Steam Refresh: To revive the texture, use a fabric steamer from a distance of 3–4 inches.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Use tissue paper inside to maintain the structure and store in soft cloth bags.
Handling and Maintenance
- Avoid moisture: Do not wear your shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions.
- Alternate pairs: Rotate between multiple pairs to allow each to breathe and retain shape.
- Gentle handling: Avoid harsh contact with rough surfaces to prevent scuffs and scratches.
- Regular inspection: Check soles and heels for wear. Replace them promptly through a professional cobbler.
Odor Control
After wearing, allow your shoes to air out. Insert cedar shoe trees or natural deodorizing sachets such as baking soda or charcoal inserts to keep them fresh and dry.

For deep cleaning, restoration, or major repairs, always trust a professional shoe care specialist familiar with premium materials like those used in Nicarlo Luxe footwear.
